Enhancement of ascomycin production via a combination of atmospheric and room temperature plasma mutagenesis in Streptomyces hygroscopicus and medium optimization
18 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Ascomycin, a key intermediate for chemical synthesis of immunosuppressive drug pimecrolimus, is produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus. In order to improve the strain production, the original S. hygroscopicus ATCC 14891 strain was treated here with atmospheric and room temperature plasma to obtain a stable high-producing S. hygroscopicus SFK-36 strain which produced 495.3 mg/L ascomycin, a...
