Enhanced Production of Polymyxin E in Paenibacillus polymyxa by Replacement of Glucose by Starch
Polymyxin E or colistin, produced by Paenibacillus polymyxa, is an important antibiotic against Gram-negative pathogens. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of starch in fermentation medium on colistin biosynthesis in P. polymyxa. The results indicated that replacement of glucose b...
