SummaryTylosin is a macrolide antibiotic used as veterinary drug and growth promoter. Attempts were made for hyper production of tylosin by a strain of Streptomyces fradiae NRRL-2702 through irradiation mutagenesis. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of wild-type strain caused development of six morphologically altered colony types on agar plates. After screening using Bacillus subtilis bioassay only morphological mutants indicated the production of tylosin. An increase of 2.7±0.22-fold in tylosin production (1500 mg/l) in case of mutant UV-2 in complex medium was achieved as compared to wild-type strain (550 mg/l). Gamma irradiation of mutant UV-2 using 60Co gave one morphologically altered colony type γ-1, which gave 2500 mg/l tylosin yield in complex medium. Chemically defined media promoted tylosin production upto 3800 mg/l. Maximum value of qp (3.34 mg/gh) was observed by mutant γ-1 as compared to wild strain (0.81 mg/gh). Moreover, UV irradiation associated changes were unstable with loss of tylosin activity whereas mutant γ-1 displayed high stability on subsequent culturing.
