The Production of Neomycin by Streptomyces Fradiae
نویسنده
چکیده
Of basic importance to the study of antibiotic production by microorganisms is a chemically defined medium in which the effect of various nutrients, both organic and inorganic, can be studied with a minimum of interference from ill-defined substances. Such a medium is reported here for the production of neomycin by Streptomyces fradiae, together with studies on the influence of various nitrogen and carbon compounds on this reaction.

Semi-solid-state fermentation: a promising alternative for neomycin production by the actinomycete Streptomyces fradiae.
The production of neomycin by the actinomycete Streptomyces fradiae, under semi-solid-state fermentation conditions was the main subject of this study. Two supports (nylon sponge and orange peelings) were tested in order to determine the most suitable one for the production of neomycin by the above-mentioned microorganism. Nylon sponge led to the highest neomycin production, reaching a maximum ...

Thirteen species of Streptomycetes, Arthrobacters and Mycobacterium were studied for the determination of a potential cholesterol oxidase producer. Only Streptomyces fradiae and Streptomyces rishiriences were found to be capable of producing this enzyme. Streptomyces fradiae was selected for the production of cholesterol oxidase and cultured in different media to find optimum media and con...

Studies on phosphatase activity of Streptomyces fradiae 3535 grown in three different media indicate that neomycin formation varies directly with enzyme activity, sodium nitrate-maltose-mineral salts medium giving the highest yields of alkaline phosphatase and neomycin. S. fradiae contains more than one alkaline phosphatase and the phosphatase responsible for hydrolysis of neomycin phosphate ap...
متن کاملThe neomycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces fradiae NCIMB 8233: genetic and biochemical evidence for the roles of two glycosyltransferases and a deacetylase.
An efficient protocol has been developed for the genetic manipulation of Streptomyces fradiae NCIMB 8233, which produces the 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS)-containing aminoglycoside antibiotic neomycin. This has allowed the in vivo analysis of the respective roles of the glycosyltransferases Neo8 and Neo15, and of the deacetylase Neo16 in neomycin biosynthesis. Specific deletion of each of the neo8...
