Abstract:

【Objective】 Streptomyces sp. FIM18-0592 was identified and its fermentation process was optimized for extracellular geldanamycin yield with the aim of increasing the yield and reducing the fermentation cost.【Method】 Strain identification was carried out by morphological features, culture characteristics and physiological and biochemical properties, combined with 16S rDNA sequence analysis to construct a phylogenetic tree; a one-factor test was used to optimize the culture conditions and media formulations, and the contents of the media formulations were further optimized by the steepest-climbing test and the response surface test. 【Result】 Through preliminary culture observation of the morphological characteristics, culture characteristics and physiological and biochemical characteristics of Streptomyces geldanamycininus FIM18-0592, we found that it grew well on ISP2 and other media, with vigorous aerial mycelium and melanin production. Combined with 16S rDNA molecular identification, the Streptomyces sp. was identified as Streptomyces geldanamycininus. The fermentation conditions and medium formulation were optimized by one-factor test, and the most optimal culture conditions for the fermentation of the strain were speed of 140 r/min, liquid content of 12%, inoculum concentration of 7%(V/V), and fermentation time of 144 h. The optimal carbon source, nitrogen source, and mineral salt were glucose, soybean cake powder and NH4HPO4, respectively. The optimal fermentation medium was determined by steepest-climbing test and response surface optimization test as follows: Glucose 10.42%, soybean cake powder 1.68%,(NH4)2SO4 0.3%, lactic acid 0.3%, glycerol 4%, magnesium sulphate 0.1%, and calcium carbonate 0.4%. Under these conditions, the fermentation titer of geldanamycin reached 2 887 μg/mL, which was 66% higher than the original fermentation process. 【Conclusion】 Streptomyces sp. FIM18-0592 belongs to Streptomycete geldanamycininus, whose fermentation process is optimized to significantly increase the yield of geldanamycin, laying the foundation for the development and utilization of geldanamycin and its derivatives.
