Objective] This study aimed to determine the effects of medium composi-tion and fermentation condition on the production of antibiotics from an actinomycete antagonistic to Penicil ium viridicatum, which was isolated from soil and identified primarily as Streptomyces anandi . [Method] Single-factor experiments and orthogonal array designs were used to optimize the medium composition and fermentation con-ditions. [Result] Culture medium composition and fermentation conditions showed sig-nificant influence on the antibiotic production from S. anandi . The optimum culture medium consisted of soluble starch 10 g/L, soybean cake powder 15 g/L, KH2PO4 0.5 g/L and MgSO4·7H2O 0.1 g/L. The optimized fermentation conditions were tem-perature 30 ℃, initial pH value 7.7, culture medium amount 40 ml/250 ml flask, and fermentation time 144 h. The titer of fermentation broth reached 452.7 U/ml when the S. anandi was cultured under the optimal fermentation medium and conditions. [Conclusion] The study may lay the foundation on further isolation and purification of the antibiotic from S. anandi JXNU02.
[Objective] In this study, the feasibility of resins to extract antibacterial substances in ferrfientation broth of Micromonospora carbonacea JXNU-1 was investigated. Various parameters including the type of resin, the time of adsorption and the initial pH on the extraction efficiency were investigated and optimized. [Method] The antibacterial activity of antibiotics was determined by agar diffusion method. [Result] The 717 anion resin was selected as the optimal, and its adsorption capacity reached 1 221 U/g within 2.5 h at the acidic range of pH （pH 5）. The Freundlich model was fit for the adsorption model of the 717 anion resin for antibiotics. [Conclusion] The results laid the foundation for further separating and purifying antibiotics in fermentation broth of Micromonospora carbonacea JXNU-1.
