Conditions of growth are described for the production of streptomycin by Streptomyces griseus ATCC 12475 using chemically defined minimal medium and complex medium. It was found using batch cultures that early synthesis of the antibiotic occurred during growth in minimal medium but was delayed until the onset of stationary phase in complex medium. This effect was independent of whether spores or vegetative cells were used as inoculum. Stability of streptomycin biosynthesis in continuous culture was dependent on dilution rate and medium employed. Cultures were highly unstable when grown on complex medium but could be maintained in steady states in continuous culture using minimal medium when the dilution rate was increased in a stepwise manner, starting at a dilution rate of 0.02 h-1 (15% of mumax). The effect of changing dilution rate on growth, streptomycin production and the level of streptomycin phosphotransferase was examined using this technique.

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D013305 Streptomyces griseus An actinomycete from which the antibiotics STREPTOMYCIN, grisein, and CANDICIDIN are obtained.
D013307 Streptomycin An antibiotic produced by the soil actinomycete Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting the initiation and elongation processes during protein synthesis.
