Bialaphos [a herbicide, 2-amino-4-(hydroxy)(methyl)-phospinoylbutyryl-alanyl-alanine] produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus increased significantly as the oxygen supply decreased during both growth and production phases of batch culture. Under low oxygen partial pressure, there were decreases in sugar consumption by the cells, cell concentration and the activity of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes in the cells. On the other hand, the activity of glyoxylic acid cycle enzymes in the cells increased. These phenomena were more prominent in high producing than in low producing strains. From these results, it is suggested that in high bialaphos producing strains, low oxygen partial pressure suppresses the activity of tricarboxylic acid enzymes so that both acetyl-CoA and pyruvate (the substrates for bialaphos synthesis) are used mainly for secondary metabolism. This results in a high production of bialaphos.
