    Radioactive labeling revealed that gentamicin minor components incorporate methyl-(14)C]methionine before major components during biosynthesis. Degradation was observed when major gentamicin components were added to the producing culture.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Biochemistry
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Gentamicin is a crucial antibiotic produced through fermentation.
    • Understanding the biosynthesis and stability of gentamicin components is vital for optimizing production and therapeutic use.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incorporation of radiolabeled methionine during gentamicin biosynthesis.
    • To examine the stability of major gentamicin components under specific culture conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Chromatographic separation of [methyl-(14)C]gentamicin major and minor components from radioactive fermentation.
    • Addition of l-[methyl-(14)C]methionine at the onset of biosynthesis to track incorporation.
    • Incubation of major gentamicin components with the producing culture medium to assess degradation.

    Main Results:

    • [methyl-(14)C]gentamicin minor components (A, B, B(1), X(2), G-418) were isolated after major components (C) separation.
    • Incorporation of the radiolabel into minor components preceded that into major components.
    • Degradation of major gentamicin components (C(1), C(2), C(1)a) was observed when added to the culture medium.

    Conclusions:

    • The study elucidates the temporal sequence of radiolabel incorporation in gentamicin biosynthesis, with minor components being synthesized earlier.
    • Major gentamicin components exhibit susceptibility to degradation within the producing culture environment, suggesting potential instability.
