Description
Summary:Retamycin is an anthracyclinic antitumoral complex produced by Streptomyces olindensis ICB20. In this work the influence of different glucose concentrations in the feed medium on the production of retamycin was studied. Chemostat cultures employing glucose concentration varying between 10 g/L and 25 g/L showed that use of high glucose concentration resulted in catabolite repression of the biosynthesis of the antitumoral. The highest specific retamycin production rate, qRTM = 7.8 mg/g.h, was obtained when glucose concentration was 10 g/L. The lowest value of qRTM, 2.5 mg/g.h, was observed when glucose concentration was 20 and 25 g/L. The residual glucose concentration varied from 0 to 13 g/L, as the glucose concentration in the feed was increased from 10 to 25 g/L.<br>A retamicina é um complexo antitumoral antraciclínico produzido por Streptomyces olindensis ICB20. Neste trabalho estudou-se a influência de diferentes concentrações de glicose no meio de alimentação sobre a produção de retamicina. Os resultados de cultivos contínuos mostraram que o uso de elevadas concentrações de glicose resultou em repressão catabólica da biossíntese do antitumoral. A maior velocidade específica de produção de retamicina, qRTM = 7,8 mg/g.h, foi obtida quando a concentração de glicose foi de 10 g/L. O menor valor de qRTM, 2,5 mg/g.h, foi observado quando a concentração de glicose foi de 20 e 25 g/L. A concentração de glicose residual aumentou de 0 a 13 g/L conforme a concentração de glicose na alimentação foi incrementada de 10 a 25 g/L.
