After testing the resistance of Streptomycin to the strain NS-41-80 which is the Meilingmycin producer- Streptomyces nanchangensis , a lot of streptomycin-resistant ( str ) mutants were screened after the spores regenerated on the lethal media when they were treated with 4 different dosage of super-mutagent EMS. We have abtained the high-yield strain 80-5. 11-221 from these str mutants which only produces Meilingmycin and no Nanchangmycin in the rotation-flask experiments. The productivity of 80-5. 11-221 is 1521?g/mL 77. 9% higher than CK's 855?g/mL. After the shake flask fermentation experiment of 80-5. 11-221 for six generations, the productivity of F 2 and F 3 is stable and the productivity of F 4?F 5?F 6 decreases hastily with the increment of generations. It was showed that the chemical-resistance mutation of the strains had closely relation with yield mutation and the EMS dosage of the yield mutation was higher than the resistance-chemical mutation's through the statistical analysis between the dosage of mutation and the chemical-resistance mutational frequency?the variate capacity of the mutants' yield. A model of the resistance-chemical mutational labelling rational selection of the strain producing Meilingmycin was established.

Objective To investigate the relationship between T?cell death?associated gene 8 ( TD?AG8) and endogenous neuron?protective mechanism against oxygen?glucose deprivation and restoration ( OGD∕R)?induced apoptosis in rat neurons. Methods The primary cortical neurons obtained from fetal rats were seeded in 6?well plates at a density of 1×105 cells∕ml and divided into 5 groups using a random number table: control group ( group C, n=24 ) , group OGD∕R ( n=48 ) , TDAG8 agonist BTB09089 group (group BTB, n=24), TDAG8?siRNA group ( group siRNA, n=24), and blank vehicle group ( group V, n=24) . The medium was replaced with glucose?and serum?free Locke′s buffer, and the neu?rons were exposed to 95% N2?5% CO2 in an air?tight incubator at 37℃ for 60 min followed by routine cul?ture to establish the model of OGD∕R. In BTB, siRNA and V groups, 20 μmol∕L TDAG8 agonist
BTB09089, 200 pmol∕L TDAG8?siRNA, and 6 μl∕200 μl transfection reagent were added, respectively, at 24 h before oxygen?glucose restoration. At 6 h of oxygen?glucose restoration, the neuronal viability and a?mount of lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) released were measured, and the expression of TDAG8 and caspase?3 mRNA in neurons was detected by fluorescent quantitative real?time polymerase chain reaction. In group OGD∕R, the expression of TDAG8 and caspase?3 was measured by Western blot at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h of oxygen?glucose restoration. In C, OGD∕R, BTB, siRNA and V groups, the expression of TDAG8, caspase?3 and p?Akt was detected at 6 h of oxygen?glucose restoration. Results In group OGD∕R, the ex?pression of TDAG8 was gradually up?regulated after oxygen?glucose restoration, and the expression of caspase?3 peaked at 6 h of oxygen?glucose restoration. Compared with group C, the neuronal viability was significantly decreased, the amount of LDH released was significantly increased, and the expression of TD?AG8 and caspase?3 protein and mRNA and p?Akt was significantly up?regulated in OGD∕R, V and siRNA groups ( P<0?05) . Compared with group OGD∕R, the expression of TDAG8 protein and mRNA and p?Akt was significantly up?regulated, the expression of caspase?3 protein and mRNA was significantly down?regu?lated, the neuronal viability was significantly increased, and the amount of LDH released was significantly decreased in group BTB, the expression of TDAG8 protein and mRNA and p?Akt was significantly down?regulated, the expression of caspase?3 protein and mRNA was significantly up?regulated, the neuronal via?bility was significantly decreased, and the amount of LDH released was significantly increased in group siR?NA ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group V ( P>0?05) . Conclusion TDAG8 is partially involved in the endogenous neuron?protective mechanism against OGD∕R?induced apoptosis in rat neurons, which may be related to activation of Akt signaling pathway.
