Results furnish evidence for a partial uncoupling of respiration at conditions of phosphate limitation in turimycin fermentations. The uncoupling was primarily caused by the high intracellular ATP hydrolase activity and probably also by the CN‐resistant respiration. The results support the idea that high dephoshorylating enzyme activities may have a regulatory effect on the secondary product biosynthesis.
