Abstract excerpt
Avilamycin is one of EU-approved antimicrobial agents in feed industry to inhibit the growth of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. Here, we applied a process of combining ribosome engineering and genome shuffling to achieve rapid improvement of avilamycin production in Streptomyces viridochromogenes AS 4.126. The starting mutant population was generated by (60)Co γ-irradiation treatments of the spores....
