The antibiotic production and spore formation process in Streptomyces coelicolor need complex decision making processes by several regulatory units. These regulatory units are involved in both primary and secondary metabolism. As a result, most regulators have several functions, and those are worthwhile themes to study about different functions of a known regulator. In this study, a deletion mutant of ndgR, which encodes the nitrogen-dependent growth regulator, was examined by the cell viability test, TEM, and growth in N-acetylglucosamine/asparagine (GlcNAc/Asn) liquid medium. The results of the study show that NdgR is also involved in the structure of the cell membrane affecting survival under physical shocks. Deletion of ndgR leads to abnormal cell membrane resulting in the vulnerable cells to physical stress caused by shaking with beads in liquid culture condition. This empirical observation is the first meaningful explanation to why ndgR mutant could not grow well in a liquid minimal medium due to the defect of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) utilization and phospholipid synthesis.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 March 2015.
All research outputs
#20,273,512
of 22,805,349 outputs
Outputs from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#2,034
of 2,504 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#214,868
of 255,027 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology
#43
of 59 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,805,349 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,504 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 255,027 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 59 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
