This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of streptomycin production from fermentation method. The preparation of streptomycin begins with the fermentation of Streptomyces griseus bacterium. The bacterium is fermented in a culture medium consisting of glucose, soybean meal, sodium chloride, etc. The process leads to the formation of streptomycin in the culture medium, which is then filtered and purified to obtain it as the end product.
Top Producers of Streptomycin
- Johnson & Johnson
- Sanofi Aventis
- Takeda Pharmaceutical Company
- Pfizer
- Bayer HealthCare
Feedstock for Streptomycin
Streptomycin is a bacterium that is produced by fermenting Streptomyces griseus bacterium, using glucose, soybean meal, sodium chloride, etc., that serves as its primary feedstock. The procurement of streptomycin is majorly dependent upon various factors, including the availability of its raw materials (including carbon sources such as glucose, along with sodium chloride, soybean meal, etc., that serves as the culture medium for fermenting Streptomyces griseus bacterium), along with the supply chain dynamics and logistics, etc. Additionally, other factors such as the production cost, variations in its market prices, trade, transportation activities, governmental policies, and economic conditions altogether govern its procurement on a large scale. Similarly, its demand observed as an antibiotic in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry is one of the essential factors that determine its procurement across various regions.
