FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Sept 1994
Salomón R A, Farías R N
Abstract excerpt
The effect of the iron content of the medium on the yield of the peptide antibiotic microcin 25 was examined; synthesis was optimal in minimal media and was reduced by adding iron. Escherichia coli AY25, the wild-type producer of the antibiotic, showed a 95% decrease in microcin yield when grown...
