Fortimicin A production by Micromonospora olivoasterospora in a chemically defined medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A chemically defined medium was devised in order to study the requirements for fortimicin A production by Micromonospora olivoasterospora KY 11515. Soluble starch was the best carbon source; NH4Cl and NH4NO3 were suitable nitrogen sources both for the growth and fortimicin production. Amino acids such as L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid showed some stimulatory effects on both growth and antibiotic production of M. olivoasterospora while L-serine stimulated only antibiotic production and L-citrulline only the growth. K2HPO4, MgSO4.7H2O and CaCO3 were essential especially for the antibiotic production. The most important finding was that vitamin B12, cobalt and nickel showed marked stimulatory effects on fortimicin A production.

The synthesis of 2-deoxyfortimicins A (15) and B (11) and 1-deamino-2-deoxy 2-epi-aminofortimicins A (18) and B (12) is described. Two routes have been developed for synthesis of the key intermediate 2-O-methanesulfonylfortimicin B (7). One route involves selective blocking of fortimicin B with N-benzyloxycarbonyl groups followed by formation of a 4,5-salicylaldehyde oxazolidine derivative. Sub...
متن کاملA novel, highly efficient gene-cloning system for Micromonospora strains.
A highly efficient gene-cloning system for Micromonospora olivasterospora, a producer of the antibiotic fortimicin A (astromicin), suited to shotgun cloning has been developed. The system is supported by two new advancements accomplished in this study. One is the construction of novel plasmid vectors pMO116, pMO126, pMO133, pMO136, and pMO217, all consisting of replicons from newly found Microm...
متن کاملBiosynthetic similarity between Streptomyces tenjimariensis and Micromonospora olivasterospora which produce fortimicin-group antibiotics.
The profile of bioconversion products of istamycin (IS) components by a blocked IS mutant of Streptomyces tenjimariensis that lost IS-productivity suggested a possible biosynthetic pathway of IS similar to that of fortimicin (FT) by Micromonospora olivasterospora. Both organisms are resistant to the antibiotics produced by each other. Based on these similarities, they were examined for their ca...

A gene encoding sannamycin B-glycyltransferase (sms13) of Streptomyces sannanensis IFO 14239 was identified by cloning and complementation of S. sannanensis mutant SN13 which is blocked at the interconversion of sannamycins B and A. The cloned DNA fragment also permitted the conversion of fortimicin B to A both in S. sannanensis SN13 and Streptomyces lividans TK23. DNA sequences similar to sms1...
متن کاملVector systems allowing efficient autonomous or integrative gene cloning in Micromonospora sp. strain 40027.
Vector systems allowing autonomous or site-specific integrative gene cloning were developed for Micromonospora sp. strain 40027, a producer of the antibiotic fortimicin A. The autonomous system depends on the discovery of a low-copy-number, self-transmissible covalently closed circular plasmid, pJTU112 (ca. 14.1 kb), which was shown to be present in the progenitor strain in both integrated and ...
