Enhanced ascomycin production in Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus by employing polyhydroxybutyrate as an intracellular carbon reservoir and optimizing carbon addition

Abstract Background Ascomycin is a multifunctional antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. ascomyceticus. As a secondary metabolite, the production of ascomycin is often limited by the shortage of precursors during the late fermentation phase. Polyhydroxybutyrate is an intracellular p...
