Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide modified Streptomyces fungicidicus isolates, and to provide methods of producing enduracidin, comprising culturing the isolates. 
     SOLUTION: As an embodiment, provided are: a modified Streptomyces fungicidicus isolate that encodes an Orf2798 protein that has 95% or greater amino acid sequence identity with a specific amino acid sequence, the amino acid sequence of the Orf2798 protein comprising a serine residue at amino acid position 2, the isolate enabling the enhanced production of enduracidin obtained with the modified Streptomyces fungicidicus in comparison to that obtained with a wild type Streptomyces fungicidicus strain; and a method of producing enduracidin, comprising culturing the isolate.
