Precursor-directed biogenetic approach was used to produce a range of nonactin homologues in a 50 l fermentor cultivation of strain Streptomyces griseus 34/249 obtained by UV mutagenesis. The production medium contained sodium propionate, isobutyrate and isovalerate as individual precursors, and 10 g l(-1) Diaion HP20 styrene-divinylbenzene resin that maintains suitable precursor concentration by reversibly adsorbing and releasing it. The produced nonactin homologues were separated on two C18 reversed-phase liquid chromatography columns in series and analyzed by MS with ESI source in the positive ion mode. Formation of doubly charged ions was suppressed by an excess of Na(+) ions throughout the process. The production of the homologues increased up to day 5 and then it leveled off. Cultivations with individual precursors yielded a total of 18 nonactin homologues whose spectrum depended on the precursor used. The total production of the homologues was lowered but their spectrum was shifted to higher-molecular-weight compounds.

The chemical composition was determined of odors produced by nine strains of streptomycetes (Streptomyces aureofaciens, S. avermitilis, S. cinnamonensis, S. coelicolor, S. griseus, S. lividans, S. rimosus, S. spectabilis, S. virginiae) cultivated in a fermentor under similar cultivation conditions. GC-MS analysis identified more than twenty noteworthy volatile chemical individuals. The main components of the odor spectrum were geosmin and unique homologues of oxolones (dihydrofuranones), minor compounds included, e.g., pyrazine derivatives, acetoin and its homologues, aromatic esters, furan derivatives.
