[Method for developing a controlled process. Study of the possible regulation of rifamycin B biosynthesis].

A procedure for developing a controlled process for biosynthesis of secondary metabolites is described with reference to rifamycin B as an example. The response of the antibiotic producing culture to changed concentrations of the main nutrients in the initial medium was determined. Mathematical processing of the experimental findings with design of the experiment resulted in defining nutrients such as ammonium sulfate and cornsteep liquor useful for further development of the controlled process.

[A method for developing a controlled process. Development and execution of a program supplying culture medium components for rifamycin B biosynthesis].

The study provided data on the rate of consumption of the main nutrients by the rifamycin-producing culture in relation to their content in the initial medium. A program for feeding ammonium sulfate and cornsteep liquor and joint control of both the nutrients was developed and tested. The results of the testing confirmed the practicable precision of the feeding. The control of cornsteep liquor and ammonium sulfate concentrations with the program allowed to increase the yield of rifamycin B by 15 and 20%, respectively. The joint control increased the level of the required product by 25%.
