Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces avermitilis produces the anthelmintic and insecticidal secondary metabolite avermectins. Following mutagenesis of a recombinant strain, S. avermitilis K2038 (aveD X) with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, a derivative strain K2057 (aveD aveE X), was isolated, which produced seven avermectin-related compounds different from the eight components of avermectins. Four among these seven compounds from...
