Abstract
ABSTRACTLincomycin is a lincosamide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lincolnensis. Through mutagenesis by ethylmethansulfonate (EMS) and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation repeatedly, M2 was picked out in plate with glutamine and propylproline orderly. In 50-L stirred bioreactor, the production of lincomycin, fermented by M2, was increased to 8136 u/ml under the optimal condition as compared to original strain S. lincolnensis 07–5 (6634 u/ml). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D GE) and mass spectrometry (MS)-shown LmbG, LmbI, and acetohydroxy acid isomeroreductase were remarkably synthesized in M2. The gene lmbG and lmbI are responsible for methylation in the lincomycin biosynthetic cluster, while acetohydroxy acid isomeroreductase contributes to stronger metabolic capability. Finally, we obtained a better strain for industrial production.
