PMCID: PMC444205  PMID: 4558141

Abstract

Optimal conditions for producing consistent yields of antimycin A in chemically defined medium included: (i) initial pH of 6.8 to 7.1; (ii) no iron supplementation; (iii) 2 g of dl-tryptophan per liter; and antibiotic extraction after 7 to 9 days of growth.
