Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Daptomycin, one of the A21978C factors produced by Streptomyces roseosporus, is an acidic cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic with potent activity against a variety of Gram-positive pathogens. To increase the titre of this extensively used and clinically important antibiotic, we applied a reported-guided rpsL mutation selection system to generate strains producing high levels of A21978C. METHODS AND RESULTS: In...
