Production of beauvericin by Beauveria bassiana on L-methionine enriched medium.
Beauveria bassiana strain isolated from curculionid beetle (Coleoptera) was cultivated in fermentation tank on the medium composed of protein hydrolysate and glucose. It has been found that L-methionine addition to the medium increases significantly the yield of beauvericin biosynthesis. Apparently, for the optimal antibiotic production, low aeration conditions are preferable.
