Sulfane sulfur activates actinorhodin production and sporulation in Streptomyces coelicolor . A gene cluster controlling intracellular sulfane sulfur levels is identified. Genetically modifying this gene cluster can change sulfane sulfur levels, thereby altering the actinorhodin production and sporulation.
