Species of Streptomyces producing oxytetracycline

Streptomyces spadicogriseus, a new species producing anthramycin.

The taxonomic description of Streptomyces spadicogriseus, a new species belonging to the Gray Series of streptomycetes as classified by Pridham and Tresner, is presented. This new species is distinguishable from the known members of the Gray Series. Streptomyces spadicogriseus produces anthramycin but bears no taxonomic relation to the known producer of the antibiotic: S. refuineus var. thermot...

Genetics of Streptomyces rimosus, the oxytetracycline producer.

From a genetic standpoint, Streptomyces rimosus is arguably the best-characterized industrial streptomycete as the producer of oxytetracycline and other tetracycline antibiotics. Although resistance to these antibiotics has reduced their clinical use in recent years, tetracyclines have an increasing role in the treatment of emerging infections and noninfective diseases. Procedures for in vivo a...

PRODUCTION OF OXYTETRACYCLINE BY ISOLATED WILD TYPE IRANIAN STREPTOMYCES RIMOSUS

Production of oxytetracycline by an isolated strain of Streptomyces rimosus from Iranian soil was investigated using a special fermentation medium. A comparative study was performed with standard strain PTCC 1144 using the following parameters optimum growth conditions with respect to time, pH, and different amounts of corn steep liquor. Surprisingly, the production yield of the wild strai...

Draft Genome Sequence of the Oxytetracycline-Producing Bacterium Streptomyces rimosus ATCC 10970

We report the draft genome of Streptomyces rimosus (ATCC 10970), a soil isolate that produces oxytetracycline, a commercially important and clinically useful antibiotic.
