Abstract

To establish an effective and reliable technique of mutation by protoplast regeneration in doxorubicin overproducing industrial strain, it is essential to optimize the conditions for protoplast regeneration. $CaCO_3$ as buffer, the negative effect of glucose was still evident without significant changes in pH, ruling out acidity as responsible for the suppression of anthracycline production and suggesting a direct effect of glucose on antibiotic biosynthesis. Production of doxorubicin was improved in doxorubicin overproducing industrial strain (BR-Dox) when protoplast regenerated. BR-Dox4 and BR-Dox6 of BR-Dox derivatives improved doxorubicin production by 25.2 % and 12.2 %, respectively.
