metal ions are the main impurities of water and media ingredients used in fermentation processes. in this research, the effect of ca+2, co+2, cu+2, fe+2, mg+2, mn+2 and zn+2 as chloride and sulfate salts was studied on the clavulanic acid production and streptomyces clavuligerus growth. all chloride salts had negative effect on clavulanic acid production and no clavulanic acid was produced in t...

Production of cephamycin c and clavulanic acid by Streptomyces clavuligerus was investigated using different media in shake flask condition. Highest cell growth (3.8 g/L) was observed in glycerol, sucrose, proline and glutamic acid (GSPG) medium. Although, GSPG medium supported maximum growth, it was least effective for the synthesis of both cephamycin and clavulanic acid. Yield of cephamycin a...

Glycerol-stabilised cell extracts of Streptomyces clavuligerus contain an enzyme activity which synthesises ACV from the individual amino acids L-a-aminoadipic acid, t-cysteine and L-valine. Enzyme activity was optimum in reaction mixtures containing 1 mM ATP together with an ATP regenerating system. The ACV synthetase enzyme formed ACV analogs when provided with Lcarboxymethylcysteine in place...
