The microorganism which produces Cepholsoporin C, has been selected from Cephalosporium acromonium by U.V radiation. Among the mutants, Cephalosporium acremonium var. M-10 was showed the highest Cephalosporin C productivity. On the basis of physiologieal characteristics, the difference hetween Cephalosporium acremonium var. M-10 and Cephalosporium acromonium was that the mutant did not assimilate sodium acetate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate. By using Cephalosporium acremonium var. M-10, the optimum conditions for the production of cephalosporin C on the rotary shaker were pH 7.0 soluble starch 4.0 w/v%, (NH₄)₂SO₄0.75w/v%,, CaCl ₂w/v%, soy bean meal 2w/v%, oleic acid 0.09w/v%, methionine 0.3w/v%, at 30℃ for 120 hours, respectively.
On the study of time course, it revealed that the peak appeared at the stationery phese. The amount of Cephalosgorin C produced in this medium by mutant was about two times larger than that by Cephalosporium acremonium.
