Deciphering the roles of fatty acids and oils in fungichromin enhancement from Streptomyces padanus

Fungichromin (FC), a polyene macrolide antibiotic, was found to be useful in the treatment of resistance for plant diseases such as null Rhizoctonia null damping-off of cabbage and tomato late blight. A novel strain, null Streptomyces padanus null PMS-702, was employed to study the cultivation conditions for FC production. When using linoleic acid as an additive, a negative effect on FC production was observed. On the contrary, when using oleic...
