Abstract
During a strain improvement program, spontaneous mutants with single or combined resistance to streptomycin (Strr), gentamycin (Genr) or rifamycin (Rifr) were selected from the industrial strain of Planobispora rosea, which is the producer of thiazolylpeptide GE2270. Among the mutants resistant to each single antibiotic, higher producers occurred more frequently (60%) among Genr than in Rifr (10%) and Strr (24%) populations. Two Genr mutants showed up to 1.5-fold improvement in GE2270 production while single resistant mutants Strr and Rifr produced slightly more than the parental strains. The combination of Strr and Rifr in the same strain improved GE2270 yield up to 1.7-fold. Finally, a higher GE2270 producing strain (1.8-fold improvement with respect to the parental strain) was selected among those mutants with triple resistance to streptomycin, rifamycin and gentamycin. A hierarchical increase in aerial mycelium and spore formation was observed which paralleled GE2270 production improvement.Keywords
