Substantial improvement of tetraene macrolide production in Streptomyces diastatochromogenes by cumulative drug resistance mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Tetraene macrolides remain one of the most reliable fungicidal agents as resistance of fungal pathogens to these antibiotics is relatively rare. The modes of action and biosynthesis of polyene macrolides had been the focus of research over the past few years. However, few studies have been carried out on the overproduction of polyene macrolides. In the present study, cumulative drug-resistance mutation was used...
