Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for increasing amphotericin B, reducing amphotericin A and shortening the fermentation period of strains by means of genetic engineering, in particular to a recombinant streptomyces nodosum with high amphotericin B production and application thereof. Background technique
[0002] Amphotericin B (Amphotericin B, AmB) belongs to the polyene macrolide antibiotics and has antifungal activity. In the middle of the last century, the producing bacterium, Streptomyces nodosus, was isolated and identified from soil samples in the Orinoco Delta. Recent studies have found that the fungus Penicillium nalgiovense can also produce AmB, but the yield is extremely low and has not been actually used for production. As a heptacene macrolide antibiotic, AmB has the following characteristics in its structure: it has 7 conjugated polyene macrolides, a hydroxyl group at C8, a carboxyl group at C16 and a fucosamine group at C19. AmB is mai...
