UTILIZATION OF CARBOHYDRATES BY STRAINS OF STREPTOMYCES GRISEUS

Utilization of carbohydrates by strains of Streptomyces griseus.

The utilization of various carbohydrates by species of streptomyces has been suggested by Pridham and Gottlieb (1948), Kurosawa (1951), and Benedict et al. (1955) as an aid in differentiation of species. While the latter investigators have reported that streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus will grow on synthetic agar media containing as sole carbon source mannitol, xylose, fru...

Oxidation of Meloxicam by Streptomyces griseus

The aim of the present investigation was to biotransform the anti-inflammatory compound meloxicam by enzymes present in whole cells of five actinomycete cultures to produce novel bioactive derivatives. Among the actinomycetes screened, Streptomyces griseus NCIM 2622 was found to possess the enzyme system(s) that oxidize meloxicam into two metabolites whereas that present in S. griseus NCIM 2623...

Isolation of streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus.

Characteristics of Streptomyces griseus strains resistant to phage.

In 1947 phage for Streptomyces griseus appeared in several commercial fermentations (Reilly, Harris and Waksman, 1947; Saudek and Colingsworth, 1947; Smith, Kiuhn, and Miesel, 1947; Woodruff, Nunheimer, and Lee, 1947). There has never been an outbreak of phage at this laboratory although a number of workers have been studying the growth of S. griseu or developing new strains. Nevertheless, in 1...
