GLUCOSE EFFECT IN THE REGULATION OF GLUCOSE-TRANSPORT IN RHODOCOCCUS-MINIMUS

We studied the influence of glucose limitation and glucose starvation on the transport of this sugar into the cells of Rhodococcus minimus B 293 by the highly efficient S1 system. Glucose transport was shown to be controlled by the ''glucose effect,'' which was realized at two lev els. At the activity level the control by glucose effect (inactivation ) was stable in the rhodococcus under study. At the level of the prote in synthesis, the phenotype ''activated by the glucose starvation synt hesis of the proteins of transport system S1'' was metastable.
