Abstrakt: Summary Strain A83543, recently identified asSaccharopolyspora spinosa, was cultured in a variety of media to optimize macrolide titer. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to improve the fermentation medium and to characterize the microorganism's response to systematic variations in medium composition. Three sequential RSM studies on wild-type A83543 and two high macrolide-producing mutants showed that each strain produced maximum titers in nearly identical fermentation media. No obvious differences in nutrient requirements were evident in the three strains indicating little interaction between mutational change and medium composition through at least two cycles of mutagenesis. The overall increase in macrolide titer starting from the wild-type organism in the original fermentation medium to the second-generation mutant in the optimized medium was over 25-fold.
