Can the presence of glucose itself activate the genes that will break it down? It does in bacteria through a process known as positive transcription control.
Figure 2: CID-mediated activation of the araBAD genes using strain MCFR as detected by MacConkey agar plates. The two experiments differed in the time each strain needed for optimal signal generation.
