  • Title: [Polymyxin B biosynthesis and tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymatic activity].
    Author: Nefelova MV, Novikova GA, Ermakova GN, Egorov NS.
    Journal: Antibiotiki; 1978 Aug; 23(8):682-6. PubMed ID: 210709.
    Abstract:
    Activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDG), isocitrate dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase was found in the extracts of the cells of Bac. polymyxa 153, an organism producing polymyxin B. Dependence of the activity of the above enzymes on the carbon source in the medium, aeration conditions, strain features and culture age was shown. A low level of polymyxin B biosynthesis was observed at high activity of PDG and dehydrogenases of the tricarbonic acid cycle. Increased antibiotic production was recorded against the background of decreases values of the above enzyme activities.
