From auxotrophic and idiotrophic mutants of Streptomyces fradiae (tylosin producer) and Streptomyces sp. AM 4900 (pikromycin producer) or Streptomyces narbonensis (narbomycin producer), prototrophic fusants were obtained at a low frequency by the protoplast fusion technique. In the cross of S. fradiae 261-27E (mycaminose-idiotroph, ilv) and Streptomyces sp. AM 4900 N3-4, (pikronolide-idiotroph, arg), an unstable prototrophic fusant, strain No. 14, produced a macrolide antibiotic which was not produced by the wild type, parent strains, and the productivity was lost within a few times transfer. It was concluded that the fusant was not a recombinant, but a heterokaryon. On the other hand, relatively stable fusants were obtained from the cross of S. fradiae TBM (mycaminose-idiotroph, met) and S. narbonensis NA12US3 (narbonolide-idiotroph, his, str) at a frequency of 3.2 X 10(-5). One of the prototrophic fusants produced narbomycin, which is believed to be due to a result of interspecific recombination.
从弗氏链霉菌(泰乐菌素产生菌)、链霉菌属AM 4900(匹克霉素产生菌)或纳博讷链霉菌(纳波霉素产生菌)的营养缺陷型和自养型突变体中,通过原生质体融合技术以低频率获得了原养型融合体。在弗氏链霉菌261-27E(麦糖胺自养型,ilv)与链霉菌属AM 4900 N3-4(匹克诺内酯自养型,arg)的杂交中,一个不稳定的原养型融合体,即14号菌株,产生了一种野生型、亲本菌株均未产生的大环内酯类抗生素,且其生产力在几次传代后丧失。得出的结论是,该融合体不是重组体,而是异核体。另一方面,从弗氏链霉菌TBM(麦糖胺自养型,met)与纳博讷链霉菌NA12US3(纳波内酯自养型,his,str)的杂交中以3.2×10⁻⁵的频率获得了相对稳定的融合体。其中一个原养型融合体产生了纳波霉素,据信这是种间重组的结果。
