A method for producing an everninomicin congener, comprising:
- culturing in a fermentor a Micromonospora carbonacea var. aurantiaca bacterium in a production medium to thereby produce a fermentation culture;
- obtaining from the fermentation culture an extract containing the everninomicin congener;
- and isolating and purifying the everninomicin congener from the fermentation culture extract.
A method for producing an everninomicin congener, comprising:
- culturing in a fermentor a Micromonospora carbonacea bacterium in a production medium to thereby produce a fermentation culture, wherein the bacterium comprises one or more mutations in a gene of the evd gene cluster;
- obtaining from the fermentation culture an extract containing the everninomicin congener;
- and isolating and purifying the everninomicin congener from the fermentation culture extract.
The method of claim 355, wherein the bacterium has altered or deleted O-methyltransferase, C-methyltransferase, and/or nitrososynthase activity.
The method of claim 355, wherein the bacterium comprising one or more mutations in a gene selected from the group consisting of evdM2, evdM3, evdN1, and evdO1.
The method of claim 355, wherein the bacterium comprises Micromonospora carbonacea var. aurantiaca.
A method of transforming Micromonospora, comprising:
- a. contacting one side of a membrane with a conjugation composition comprising a donor bacterium and a recipient Micromonospora bacterium, wherein the membrane is able to be penetrated by Micromonospora mycelia but not the donor bacterium;
- b. incubating the composition for a time and temperature sufficient to grow colonies of Micromonospora which penetrate the membrane;
- and
- c. removing the membrane and donor bacterium, thereby leaving the transformed Micromonospora.
