Streptomyces coelicolor was grown in variously limited chemostat cultures and the specific rate of extracellular actinorhodin production (q(actinorhodin)) was measured. The highest q(actinorhodin) values were observed in glucose- or ammonia-limited cultures, whereas almost no actinorhodin was produced in sulfate-, phosphate-, potassium-, or magnesium-limited cultures. The effect of the dilution...
