ABSTRACT:
A midecamycin hyper producing strain having improved productivity of midecamycin which is a member of macrolide antibiotics, and a method for producing midecamycins using the strain are provided. The midecamycin producing actinomycetes comprises a midecamycin biosynthesis gene or a homologue thereof, wherein at least one module in a polyketide synthase gene of a midecamycin biosynthesis gene or partial sequences of the at least one module, is substituted so as to encode the corresponding amino acid sequences of the other module.
