TL;DR: It is concluded that similar to fungal cells the level of glycolytic metabolites is involved in enzyme derepression through yet unknown mechanisms.

TL;DR: In Bacillus licheniformis, alpha-amylase production varied more than 100-fold depending on the presence or absence of a catabolite-repressing carbon source in the growth medium.
Abstract: In Bacillus licheniformis, alpha-amylase production varied more than 100-fold depending on the presence or absence of a catabolite-repressing carbon source in the growth medium. alpha-Amylase was produced during the growth phase and not at the onset of the stationary phase. Induction of alpha-amylase correlated with synthesis of mRNA initiating at the promoter of the alpha-amylase gene.

TL;DR: Cholesterol excretion appears to be of general occurrence and was found in both strains of cultured cells examined (mouse fibroblasts and lymphoblasts and also in strips of rabbit aorta incubated in vitro).
Abstract: Mammalian cells grown in tissue culture have been shown previously to take up considerable quantities of cholesterol from the growth medium. When cells grown on cholesterol-C14 supplemented medium were transferred to unlabeled medium containing serum, excretion of cholesterol into the outside medium took place. When cell cholesterol was labeled by intracellular synthesis from mevalonate-C14 precursor, it also was excreted readily into the serum medium. This excretion did not take place in serum-free medium and was found to be stimulated by a nondialyzable, thermolabile component of human serum. Horse, chicken, calf, and rabbit serum also showed stimulation ability. The process of cholesterol excretion appears to be of general occurrence. It was found in both strains of cultured cells examined (mouse fibroblasts and lymphoblasts) and also in strips of rabbit aorta incubated in vitro.

TL;DR: Using a mass balance approach and Monod growth kinetics a model is presented which describes the fed-batch culture of Phaffia rhodozyma and enables the calculation of a feed regime to obtain the maximum yield of cells and pigment.
Abstract: As Phaffia rhodozyma is a Crabtree positive yeast, its cell yield and pigment production are reduced at high sugar concentrations. A method for maintaining low growth medium sugar concentrations is fed-batch culture. Using a mass balance approach and Monod growth kinetics a model is presented which describes the fed-batch culture of Phaffia rhodozyma and enables the calculation of a feed regime to obtain the maximum yield of cells and pigment. Although developed on a glucose medium, the model was also applied successfully to a molasses-based medium.

TL;DR: Development and maintenance of spore motility occurred even at very low oxygen tensions but was probably dependent upon an intact respiratory system and less sensitive to lack of oxygen, respiratory inhibitors, and a factor formed during growth than was sporangial development.
Abstract: Aphunomgces astaci, Saprolegniaceae, the crayfish plague parasite, grows well in a buffered peptone - glucose - mineral salt medium but does not normally produce spores during growth in this medium. Sporulation is, however, easily induced by transfer to pond water. None of the components of the complete medium inhibited sporulation more than partly when tested solely or in combinations. Neither lack of oxygen, high carbon dioxide concentrations, nor osmotic phenomena could satisfactority exlpain the absence of spore formation in the complete medium. In a peptone - glucose growth medium low in phosphate and metal salts a sporulation inhibiting factor was formed by the mycelium. In this medium both good growth and good spore production could, however, occur simultaneously and spore production was here stimulated by a reduction in the oxygen tension. Liberation of formed spores into the medium was inhibited by mineral salts. It was less sensitive to lack of oxygen, respiratory inhibitors, and a factor formed during growth than was sporangial development. Development and maintenance of spore motility occurred even at very low oxygen tensions but was probably dependent upon an intact respiratory system.
