چکیده
Polsinelli, M. (University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy), and Maria Beretta. Genetic recombination in crosses between Streptomyces aureofaciens and Streptomyces rimosus. J. Bacteriol. 91:63-68. 1966.-Biochemical mutants were obtained from Streptomyces rimosus and S. aureofaciens by ultraviolet irradiation. Crosses were performed between auxotrophic strains of S. rimosus and S. aureofaciens with positive results. Data are reported which indicate that the interaction observed in some crosses is due to gene recombination.

Biosynthesis of Oxytetracycline by Streptomyces rimosus: Past, Present and Future Directions in the Development of Tetracycline Antibiotics.
Natural tetracycline (TC) antibiotics were the first major class of therapeutics to earn the distinction of 'broad-spectrum antibiotics' and they have been used since the 1940s against a wide range of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, mycoplasmas, intracellular chlamydiae, rickettsiae and protozoan parasites. The second generation of semisynthetic tetracyclines, such as minocyclin...
متن کاملRecombination between the linear plasmid pPZG101 and the linear chromosome of Streptomyces rimosus can lead to exchange of ends.
The 387kb linear plasmid pPZG101 of Streptomyces rimosus R6 can integrate into the chromosome or form a prime plasmid carrying the oxytetracycline biosynthesis cluster. The integration of plasmid pPZG101 into the linear chromosome of S. rimosus R6-501 in mutant MV25 was shown to be due to a single cross-over at a 4 bp common sequence. pPZG101 had integrated into a 250 kb DNA sequence that was r...

Determinants of tetracycline resistance have been cloned from two different tetracycline-producing industrial strains of Streptomyces into Streptomyces lividans using the plasmid vector pUT206. Three plasmids, pUT250 and pUT260 with a 9.5 and a 7.5 kb insert respectively of Streptomyces rimosus DNA, and pUT270 with a 14.0 kb insert of Streptomyces aureofaciens DNA, conferring resistance to tetr...
متن کاملEvidence for the Essential Arginine and Histidine Residues in Catalytic Activity of Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase from Streptomyces aureofaciens
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was purified from Streptomyces aureofaciens and inactivated with butanedione and diethylpyrocarbonate. Incubation of the enzyme with butanedione resulted in a rapid activity loss (80%) within 5 min, followed by a slow phase using a molar ratio to enzyme concentration of 100. Fluorescence studies showed a conformational change in the butanedione-modified ...
متن کاملThe temperate phages RP2 and RP3 of Streptomyces rimosus.
The oxytetracycline-producing Streptomyces rimosus strains R6-65 and R7 (ATCC 10970) are lysogenic for the two narrow-host-range phages RP2 and RP3. Both phages are released at low frequency from the lysogenic strains and form plaques on 'cured' S. rimosus strains. RP2 and RP3 are of similar shape with flexible tails and contain double-stranded DNA of about 70% G+C with cohesive ends (group B1 ...
