Abstract: | Rosamicin is one of the important macrolide antibiotics that has clinical efficacy and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Using a mutant strain of Micromonospora rosaria (NRRL 3718), a chemically defined medium was developed, and some fermentation conditions that are important to rosamicin biosynthesis were optimized to achieve rosamicin productivity of 230 mug/ml. Soluble starch and l-asparagine were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and a stimulative effect of magnesium and zinc ions was also found. The medium developed contains: soluble starch, 4%; l-asparagine, 0.15%; K(2)HPO(4), 0.075%; CaCO(3), 0.6%; MgSO(4) . 7H(2)O, 0.05%; FeSO(4) . 7H(2)O, 10 M; CuSO(4) . 5H(2)O, 10 M; ZnSO(4) . 7H(2)O, 10 M; and MnSO(4) . (4-6)H(2)O, 10 M. The required air supply was about 40 mmol of O(2) liter . h . atm, and the favorable culture temperature was 28 to 29 degrees C. |
