Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this investigation is to enhance the production of the immunosuppressant drug rapamycin by subjecting the strain CBS 773.23 to ultraviolet (UV) and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroso guanidine (NTG) mutations. Among all the mutants tested, MTCC 5681 (NRC-CM03/SH) obtained by NTG mutagenesis of strain CBS 773.72 showed the highest activity, 210 mg/L. The effect of different factors including medium...
