Abstract

In Korea, antibiotic fermentation industries have just started budding out now. Tetracycline derivative (Pfizer, CKD), Kanamycin (Dongmyung) are produced by fermentation processes. Penicillin, erythromycin, gentamicin, rifamycin, and a few others are being planned for production within a few years by major pharmaceutical and chemical firms in Korea. Reviewing past and present activities in the antibiotic fermentation industries in Korea suggests that the prospects for antibiotics will be very bright.
