Abstract excerpt
The use of mutants and molecular genetics has begun to reveal how differentiation is brought about in multicellular, mycelial Streptomyces spp. Alternative pathways to aerial mycelium formation may be activated on different media. In some cases, extracellular signals are transmitted or exchanged. Extracellular proteins may act as morphogens in the erection of aerial hyphae. A rare codon, UUA, is apparently...
