โฆ Synopsis
The glucose analogues 2-deoxyglucose and n-glucosamine repressed the production of extracellular endodextranase in the yeast Lipomyces starkeyi. Though both analogues were successfully used for the selective isolation of derepressed and hyperproductive mutants, 2-deoxyglucose proved to be superior to D-glUCOSamine with respect to effective concentration and the avoidance of background growth.
