Figure 3

Scheme for abiotic factors influencing the activity of the ces NRPS promoter driving the synthesis of cereulide. The parameters were deduced from the examination of 70 foods and food ingredient using an emetic lux reporter strain [10]. The arrow denotes an increasing toxin formation capability with respect to the food composition. Examples of typical food matrices for each category are shown.
