[Increase in tylosin production by a commercial strain of Streptomyces fradiae].
Conventional mutagenesis (UV irradiation and exposure to nitrosoguanidine) were used to produce and regenerate protoplasts, aiming at increasing the antibiotic activity of a Streptomycesfradiae strain producing tylosin. Variants exceeding the activity of the initial producer strain by 0.5-28.3% were obtained. The most active variants were produced by a combined exposure to UV and nitrosoguanidine, as well as upon regeneration of protoplasts formed from the cells of clones produced by UV irradiation. Unstable inheritance of the trait of increased tylosin production was demonstrated.
