Improving Production of Tacrolimus In Streptomyces Tacrolimicus (ATCC 55098) Through Development of Novel Mutant by Dual Mutagenesis

ABSTRACT Tacrolimus is a polyketide macrolide produced by Streptomyces species which is widely used as anti-fibrotic agent and potent immunosuppressant. In this article dual mutagenesis approach using mutagens (NTG+EMS+UV) was used to develop a mutant strain of Streptomyces tacrolimicus (ATCC 55098)...
