Summary
The BS-21 strain of Streptomyces rimosus can utilize adenine, and guanine, as sole nitrogen sources, and in small concentrations, can increase the mycelium production in media containing threonine, ornithine and cysteine, further, it initiates growth in media containing valine, isoleucine, leucine and oxyproline. Pyrimidine bases are unsuitable as exclusive nitrogen sources, and unlike purine bases, do not increase growth in the presence of the nitrogen sources listed before. The yield of oxytetracycline follows the production rate of mycelium production.
