Abstract
The sporulation deficient industrial organism Bacillus licheniformis H WL10 possesses two distinct glucose transport systems in log-phase cel ls, a glucose phosphotransferase system (PTS) and a non-PTS mechanism. The strain continues to take up glucose at a significant though reduc ed rate during prolonged stationary-phase incubation, but only the PTS is active.
