Abstract excerpt
A novel high-throughput cultivation method was developed to rapidly screen large numbers of rapamycin-producing mutants of Streptomyces hygroscopicus by duplicate culturing of isolates on the surfaces of agar-solidified 96 wells in microtiter plates. One copy of the cultures was used for the rapamycin bioassay and the other identical copy, representing potentially high yielding strains, was preserved for further...
