Abstract excerpt
Rapamycin is a polyketide with a 31-membered macrolide ring that possesses powerful immunosuppressant activity. In this study, we firstly obtained a mutant, shikimate-resistant Streptomyces hygroscopicus strain UV-II, which displayed about 3.20-fold higher rapamycin production (305.9 mg/L) than the wild-type S. hygroscopicus ATCC29253 (95.5 mg/L). Under optimal conditions, with the addition of 2 g/L shikimic...
