Improvement of Carbapenem Antibiotics Productivity in S. cattleya by Transformation
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Streptomyces cattleya is a producer of carbapenem antibiotics, thienamycin and N-a-cetylthienamycin, which have potent and broad-spectrum antibacterial activities. We studied on strain improvement for antibiotic productivity of S. cattleya by transformation technique which employed S.cattleya protoplasts and chromosomal DNAs of glutamic acid producers: Corynebacterium glutamicum and Arthrobacter simplex. 150 Transformant strains were cultured and bioassayed using Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus as test organisms. 8.7% of transformants tested showed 1.4~2.6 fold higher productivities than wild type which produced 1.61¡¾0.67 §¶/§¢. The best transformant produced 8.36¡¾2.84 §¶/§¢ carbapenems.
