Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The range of morphological forms of actinomycetes in shaken flask culture and fermenters is reviewed. Some of the factors that influence pellet formation and its prevention are discussed. The relationship between morphology and production of antibiotics and other metabolites is also examined.
