Abstract

The biosynthetic activity (accumulation of biomass, proteins and lipids) of strain Streptomyces canosus CNMN-Ac-04, which possesses antimicrobial activity against several bacteria and fungi, was studied using five nutrient media. The medium S-I, with soybean flour, was recommended for the increase the quantity of biomass, proteins and lipids. The biomass of this strain can be used for the prophylaxis and treatment of bacterial diseases of honey bees.
