synthesis |
overexpression of malEFG-a improves the utilization rate of starch, and thereby enhances avermectin production, which is useful for the improvement of commercial antibiotic production using starch as the main carbon source in the fermentation process |

7.5.2.1 |
additional information |
a malEFG-a deletion mutant is unable to grow in a minimal medium with maltose as sole carbon source and produce avermectin. Maltose utilization and avermectin production are restored by introduction of a single copy of malEFG-a. Overexpression of malEFG-a improves the utilization rate of starch, and thereby enhances avermectin production |
