Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous and induced variability of carotenoid biosynthesis was studied in seven strains of Streptomyces globisporus 1912 with the model of direct and reverse mutations. The appearance of spontaneous pigmentless (Crt) colonies in mutants 4 Crt and 7 Crt was 0.9% at an average. Crt(-) mutants were not observed among 6596 examined colonies of the strain 6 Crt. The RVCrt strain has high level of carotenoid...
