- Abstract
Doramectin, an essential animal anthelmintic, is synthesized through the fermentation process of Streptomyces avermitilis. This study delves into the transcriptomic profiles of two strains, namely the doramectin-producing wild-type S. avermitilis N72 and its highly doramectin-producing mutant counterpart, S. avermitilis XY-62. Comparative analysis revealed 860 up-regulated genes and 762 down-regulated genes in the mutant strain, notably impacting the expression of key genes pivotal in doramectin biosynthesis, including aveA1, aveA2, aveA3, aveA4, aveE, and aveBI. These findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms underpinning the heightened doramectin production in S. avermitilis XY-62, presenting promising avenues for optimizing doramectin production processes., (© 2024.
