Abstract excerpt
In the model species Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), the uptake of chitin-degradation byproducts, mainly N,N'- diacetylchitobiose ([GlcNAc]2) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), is performed by the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter DasABC-MsiK and the sugar-phosphotransferase system (PTS), respectively. Studies on the S. coelicolor chromosome have suggested the occurrence of additional uptake systems of...
