Alpha-ketoglutarate protects Streptomyces coelicolor from visible light-induced phototoxicity

It has been known that some Streptomyces species, including the model strain Streptomyces coelicolor, are vulnerable to visible light. Much evidence demonstrated that the phototoxicity induced by visible light is a consequence of the formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ar...
