The invention discloses a culture medium which is applicable to culturing
staurosporine producing
bacteria for producing
staurosporine; the culture medium with pH value of 7.0 comprises carbon sources, organic
nitrogen sources and inorganic salt, wherein, the inorganic salt comprises
calcium salt; the carbon sources are selected from two or more than two of the following three groups of components, namely, A, B and C, wherein, at least two components are selected from different groups, group A: glucose, group B: amidulin,
corn starch and
potato starch, and group C: oats and
maltodextrin; and / or, the organic
nitrogen sources are selected from soybean cake
powder,
yeast extract,
yeast cream and kapok
meal; and / or, the inorganic salt is also added with
magnesium salt. The invention also discloses a method for producing
staurosporine from staurosporine producing
bacteria by adopting the culture medium. By adopting the
fermentation medium for producing staurosporine, the thalli of the staurosporine producing
bacteria grows fast, the mycelia are not easy to clot, the yield of
fermentation products is high, and the relative
potency is optimized 230 percent of a former culture medium.
