Abstract
In actinomycetes the catabolism products of branched chain amino acids provide biosynthetic precursors for the formation of several lipid-containing antibiotics. We have determined in Nonomuraea sp. ATCC 39727 the effect of valine on production of glycopeptide antibiotic A40926, which is a complex of factors structurally differing in fatty acid moieties. Addition of valine to minimal medium increased A40926 production and modified complex composition towards a mono-component. Similar results were also obtained in a rich production medium.
