ABSTRACT. Twelve actinomycete strains (parent organisms,
mutants and a fusant) of Streptomyces spectabilis were
investigated with reference to the biosynthesis of antibiotic
complex 1012. Mutant H-72, obtained by UV radiation, exhibited
the highest productivity of the antibiotic complex.
Correlation between production of complex 1012 and
biosynthesis of cell structural components (lipids,
polysaccharides and proteins) was investigated.
