Abstract excerpt
GE37468A is a new thiazolyl peptide antibiotic acting on Elongation Factor Tu, produced by fermentation of Streptomyces sp. ATCC 55365. The low (< 10 mg/liter) and poorly reproducible antibiotic productivity of the original soil isolate hampered the development of a scalable fermentation process. A tenfold increase of GE37468A productivity was achieved by selection of spontaneous morphochromatic variants, which...
