Validamycin A (VAL-A) is an important agricultural antibiotic produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus 5008, which uses starch as carbon source occupying about 20% of total production cost. To reduce the medium cost, corncob hydrolysate – a hemicellulose hydrolysate was applied as a low-cost substrate to VAL-A fermentation. It was found that three major sugars in corncob hydrolysate including d-glucose, d-xylose and l-arabinose could all be utilized by S. hygroscopicus 5008 to produce VAL-A while d-xylose was the main contributor. A higher VAL-A production titer from d-xylose was achieved by using a genetically engineered strain TC03 derived from S. hygroscopicus 5008, which resulted in 1.27-fold improvement of VAL-A production from the medium containing 13% (v/v) corncob hydrolysate compared to that by its original strain. A medium cost analysis was done and compared with previous reports. This work indicates a great potential of the hemicellulose hydrolysate as substrate for antibiotic fermentation.
