The work reported in the present paper deals with the fermentative production of oxytetracycline by Streptomyces rimosus ATCC 33022 using commerciol high fructose syrup (HFS), vitamin B complex and citric acid of technical grode. The effects of concentration of high fructose syrup (0.5 - 2.5 %, v/v), commercial vitamin B complex (0.03 - 0.07 %, w/v) and the citric acid (0.34 - 1.28 %. w/v) were examined in this study. It was found that fermentation medium (medium-MHFS) containing high fructose syrup 1.0 % produced maximum activily of oxytetracycline after 4 days incubation period. Fermentation tnedium (mediwn-MBpleJ containing 0.05 % commerciol vitamin B complex showed maximum acrivily after 3 days incubation. While the addition of citric acid (0.64 %) to the fermentation medium (medium-MCA) was found optimumfor production oxytetracycline.
