[Biochemical mutants of Actinomyces griseus, a producer of the antibiotic grisin. The isolation of the mutants and a study of the level of grisin antibiotic synthesis]. 1979

V V Kuklin, and L S Iustratova, and V G Zhdanov

Biochemical mutants of Actinomyces griseus producing grisin were obtained under the action of chemical mutagens. The mutants were divided into 2 groups. The mutants with impaired synthesis of amino acids of the aspartic acid family, i.e. lysine, homoserine and methionine were included into the 1st group. The 2nd group included the mutants with impaired synthesis of the other amino acids, i.e. histidine, arginine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and valine. The antibiotic production level in the biochemical mutants was studied. It was found that the level of the antibiotic production was decreased in most of the biochemical mutants. A necessity for increased fonds of lysine and arginine for biosynthesis of grisin was shown.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells.
