Abstract

Prodigiosin biosynthesis by proline-induced non-proliferating cultures of Serratia marcescens is enhanced by sorne antibiotics specially polymyxin B. This paper reports kinetics of prodigiosin production by proline induced polymyxin treated non-proliferating cultures of S. marcescens in the presence of 2,4-dinitrophenol, KCN or chloramphenicol. Results show that protein synthesis and electron transport are needfull for prodigiosin production in the presence of polymyxin B whereas oxidative phosphorylation is noL.
