Abstract:
Gentamicin production at home and abroad was fermentation cycle long,production rate low,production costs high and short of competitiveness.Added a little quantity of lysine,glycine,tyrosine,methionine into the medium of gentamicin producing Micromonospora purpurea during inoculation could improve the metabolic capability of microbe,shorten fermentation cycle and increase production rate of gentamicin.The new method was successfully developed in shaking flask test and applied to 5L glass fermentor for one month.Average data of one month showed that the fermentation time per cycle was shortened about 40% and the yield of gentamicin per fermentor increased about 14% in comparison with the conventional technique.The production rate of gentamicin was increased 30% ~95%(according to the capability of strain).The quality of the end product gentamicin conformed to CP2000,BP2000 and USP26 pharmacopoeia.Therefore,the new method may reduce production costs of gentamicin remarkably,it shows strong competitiveness in the marketplace.
