Production of oxytetracycline by an isolated strain of Streptomyces rimosus
from Iranian soil was investigated using a special fermentation medium. A
comparative study was performed with standard strain PTCC 1144 using the
following parameters optimum growth conditions with respect to time, pH, and
different amounts of corn steep liquor. Surprisingly, the production yield of the
wild strain was 20% more than the standard strain.
