Abstract
A process for producing mitomycin A by fermentation, which involves culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces, which is capable of producing mitomycin A and having at least one property of (1) deficiency in an ability to produce mitomycin C and (2) a resistance to tryptophan analog, in a culture medium forming and accummulating mitomycin A in the culture medium; and recovering mitomycin A therefrom. The microorganism preferably involves Streptomyces caespitosus T-17-135 (NRRL 12508) or Streptomyces caespitosus (NRRL 12513).
