Production of Antitumor Antibiotic by Streptomyces Capoamus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study is concerned with the production of antitumor antibiotic by Streptomyces capoamus in batch fermentation. Antibiotic activity was tested against Bacillus subtilis by cylinder plate method. Different culture media were screened and M3 medium consisting of glucose (10.0 g/L), yeast extract (1.0 g/L), meat extract (4.0 g/L), peptone (4.0 g/L) and NaCl (2.0 g/L) was found to be the best. Optimum temperature, pH and incubation period for the production of antitumor antibiotic were found to be 30C, 7.5 and 72 hrs, respectively. 2% maltose as carbon source, 2% corn steep liquor as nitrogen source and 48 hrs old inoculum at a concentration of 8% (v/v) were found to be the best for antitumor antibiotic production by Streptomyces capoamus NRRL B3632.

Leinamycin, a new antitumor antibiotic from Streptomyces: producing organism, fermentation and isolation.
Leinamycin (DC 107) is newly discovered antitumor antibiotic with an unusual 1,3-dioxo-1,2-dithiolane structure. Five different producing strains were isolated from soils collected in Japan during 1985-1988 and were taxonomically assigned as Streptomyces. Fermentation studies indicate: Leinamycin was unstable in culture broth. A chemically defined medium could be designed for a preferable produ...

Introduction: Streptomyces species are mycelial, aerobic gram-positive bacteria that are isolated from soil and produce a diverse range of antibiotics. Streptomyces griseus produces the antibiotic, streptomycin and forms spores even in a liquid culture. The gene cluster for the production of Streptomycin antibiotic contains strR gene that encodes StrR, a pathway-specific regulator. Then, this p...
متن کاملChicamycin, a new antitumor antibiotic. I. Production, isolation and properties.
Chicamycin is a new antitumor antibiotic produced by a strain of Streptomyces albus, No. J576 -99. The antibiotic is extractable into organic solvents from the fermentation broth and is obtained in two active forms, chicamycins A and B, depending upon the isolation procedure used. Chicamycin A is not a natural antibiotic but the methanol adduct of naturally produced chicamycin B. Both forms of ...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. TP-A0356, a producer of a potent antitumor antibiotic, yatakemycin, to evaluate potential for secondary metabolite production. The genome sequence data suggest the presence of at least nine gene clusters for polyketide synthases and nonribosomal peptide synthetases in this strain.
