Abstract

Colistin produced from Penibacillius polymyxa was widely used as an antibiotic active against gram-negative bacteria and as feed additive. This research studied on increment of colistin productivity by mutation of P. polymyxa. As a result, several mutants were obtained from the strain by UV radiation and NTG treatment. They produced approximately 8.5${\sim}$9.0 g/L of colistin in flask and jar culture. Colistin productivity of the mutant, named Penibacillius polymyxa CBY, showed 100 times than that of wild type. When Penibacillius polymyxa CBY fermented in the optimal medium, it produced up to 18 g/L of colistin in jar fermentation.
