Abstract

SUMMARY: Pairs of non-tetracycline-producing mutants of or were grown side by side on agar. Their ability to produce antibiotic by cosynthesis was tested by placing a strip of agar cut from the combined culture on plates containing . The activity was revealed as an inhibition halo formed on , opposite one or other mutant strain. The strain surrounded by the halo was considered as a converter of an intermediate product secreted by the other strain. Two types of mutants were observed: a rare type probably affecting the main pathway of antibiotic biosynthesis, and a more frequent type probably affecting some regulatory process.
