Abstract
A thermophilic strain of Streptomyces thermonitrificans produced a hig h activity of intracellular glucose isomerase (12 U/ml) when grown in a medium containing 1% (w/v) xylose, supplemented with 2% (w/v) sorbit ol as the second carbon source, at 50-degrees-C for 16 h. Addition of Mg2+ enhanced enzyme production but the organism could grow and produc e the enzyme in the absence of Co2+.
