STREPTOMYCIN RESISTANCE MUTATION——A STUDY ON THE BREEDING OF HIGH NATAMYCIN-PRODUCING STRAIN / 微生物学通报

A method of streptomycin resistance screening was applied to improve t he productivity of Natamycin by Streptomyces gilvosporeus(ATCC13326) The sp ores treated with UV light were regenerated on agar plates containing 0 6?g/mL stre p tomycin 122 streptomycin resistant(str) mutants were obtained The Natamycin y iel ds of 13 mutants were higher than the original strain The mutants with high Na t amycin productivity were screened at a high frequency(10 6%) The highest one that demonstrated 1 46 times that of the original strain in Natamy cin productivity was obtained
