Optimisation of cultural conditions for antifungal antibiotic accumulation by Streptomyces rochei G164.

To induce higher amount of antifungal antibiotic production by variation of cultural parameters has been studied. The maximum effectivity was found in sucrose as carbon source, peptone as nitrogen source and at pH 7.0. The effect of other selected factors were also evaluated in order to judge the variables that influenced antibiotic production.
