Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Avermectins are major antiparasitic agents used commercially in animal health, agriculture and human infections. To improve the fermentation efficiency of avermectins, for the first time a plasma jet generated by a novel atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) was employed to generate mutations in Streptomyces avermitilis. METHODS AND RESULTS: The APGD plasma jet, driven by a radio frequency (RF) power...
