Abstract excerpt
Seventeen spontaneous and induced mutants, that acquired a new characteristic--the synthesis of beta-carotene and lycopene, were obtained from strain Streptomyces globisporus 1912. It was found that spontaneous mutants inherited more stably the acquired carotenogenesis as compared to induced ones. Synthesis of carotenoids by all isolated Crt+ Lcp+ cultures is a constitutive feature. It was shown that...
