Abstract excerpt
The feature of streptomycin resistance in S. erythraeus, a culture producing erythromycin, is genetically unstable. Mutants sensitive to 0.03 mg/ml of streptomycin are formed in the initial streptomycin resistant strains at a rate of 0.04 per cent. It was shown possible to perform step-by-step selection for increasing streptomycin resistance (from 0.2 to 15 mg/ml) in the mutants producing and not producing...
