Summary The exposure of a wild-type tylosin producing strain ofStreptomyces fradiae to mutagenic agents resulted in the isolation of several tylosin over-producing strains. Examination of three mutants, T4310, 612 and 3204 showed that improved tylosin production was associated with increased hydrolytic enzyme activity and cell growth. The wild-type strain showed lower levels of hydrolytic activity including, protease, amylase, lipase and esterase activities and attained a lower cell density than the mutants.
