Cephalosporin production by Cephalosporium acremonium strain C-10 was suppressed when the organic nitrogen source (1.2% L-asparagine) was replaced by 1.2% (NH4)2SO4. A higher level of (NH4)2SO4 (3.5%) led to even greater suppression. Ammonium repression was exerted on formation of delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) synthetase, together with that of expandase; a lesser effect by ammonium was observed on cyclase production. Inhibition of ACV synthetase activity byammonium was also observed (ca. 50% inhibition at 250 mM NH4+).
当用1.2%的硫酸铵替换有机氮源(1.2%的L-天冬酰胺)时,顶头孢霉C-10菌株的头孢菌素产量受到抑制。更高水平的硫酸铵(3.5%)导致更大程度的抑制。铵阻遏作用于δ-(L-α-氨基己二酰基)-L-半胱氨酰-D-缬氨酸(ACV)合成酶以及扩展酶的形成;铵对环化酶产生的影响较小。还观察到铵对ACV合成酶活性的抑制作用(在250 mM NH4+时约50%的抑制率)。
