This document discusses the production of antibiotics through microbial fermentation. It describes the components of a growth medium suggested by Moyer and Coghill in 1946 to support microbial growth and antibiotic production. The document also outlines the three phases of streptomycin fermentation: 1) rapid mycelial growth with little antibiotic production, 2) low mycelial growth and accumulation of streptomycin in the medium, and 3) completion of the process where mycelium is separated by filtration and the antibiotic recovered.
