Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces aureofaciens ATCC 10762 grown in rotary-shaken submerged cultures produced substantial amounts of tetracycline only when the defined medium was deprived of iron. The biosynthesis of tetracycline was inhibited either by free iron at concentrations above 1-2 mumol l-1, or by chelated iron provided by the siderophores of this bacterial strain. Late static iron-containing cultures allowed cell...
