Abstract

Dry heat was more effective as physical mutagen than wet heat for Streptomyces rimosus. The optimal dose oftemperature
for inducing auxotrophic mutants in Streptomyces rimosus was 55° under dry treatment conditions. Two
mutants only out of 138 dry and wet heat mutants produced higher antibiotic titres than the parent organism.
