Actinoplanes Swims into the Molecular Age.
نویسنده
چکیده
The survival strategy of Actinoplanes is fascinating from an evolutionary perspective, combining a short motile phase in an otherwise nonmotile, filamentous life cycle and the somewhat paradoxical concept of spores-normally thought of as a resting stage-that swim. In the first paper to report a molecular genetic analysis of development in Actinoplanes, the authors identify a key regulator of the entry into development (Y. Mouri, K. Konishi, A. Fujita, T. Tezuka, Y. Ohnishi, J Bacteriol 199:e00840-16, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00840-16).

Variation and predicted structure of the flagellin gene in Actinoplanes species.
Members of the genus Actinoplanes are considered to be representative of motile actinomycetes. To infer the flagellar diversity of Actinoplanes species, novel degenerate primers were designed for the flagellin (fliC) gene. The fliC gene of 21 Actinoplanes strains was successfully amplified and classified into two groups based on whether they were large (type I) or small (type II). Comparison of...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of the motile actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis 431T (= NBRC 102363T)
Actinoplanes missouriensis Couch 1963 is a well-characterized member of the genus Actinoplanes, which is of morphological interest because its members typically produce sporangia containing motile spores. The sporangiospores are motile by means of flagella and exhibit chemotactic properties. It is of further interest that members of Actinoplanes are prolific sources of novel antibiotics, enzyme...
متن کاملLipiarmycin, a new antibiotic from Actinoplanes. II. Isolation, chemical, biological and biochemical characterization.
Lipiarmycin, a metabolite of Actinoplanes deccanensis nov. sp. (PARENTI et al.), has been isolated in pure form. It has a molecular formula C52 CONGRUENT TO 54H74 CONGRUENT TO 76Cl2O19, (M.W. = 1,073 CONGRUENT TO 1,099). From its chemical and physico-chemical characteristics, lipiarmycin can be considered a new antibiotic. Lipiarmycin is highly active against Gram-positive bacteria, includin...
متن کاملFriulimicins: novel lipopeptide antibiotics with peptidoglycan synthesis inhibiting activity from Actinoplanes friuliensis sp. nov. I. Taxonomic studies of the producing microorganism and fermentation.
A strain that produces new lipopeptide antibiotics is a new species of the genus Actinoplanes for which we propose the name Actinoplanes friuliensis (type strain: HAG 010964). The strain is an actinoplanete actinomycete having cell wall II composition and forming sporangia. Comparisons with Actinoplanes spp. which have similarities with our isolate, including fatty acid analysis, showed that th...
متن کاملRational selection and engineering of exogenous principal sigma factor (σHrdB) to increase teicoplanin production in an industrial strain of Actinoplanes teichomyceticus
BACKGROUND Transcriptional engineering has presented a strong ability of phenotypic improvement in microorganisms. However, it could not be directly applied to Actinoplanes teichomyceticus L-27 because of the paucity of endogenous transcription factors in the strain. In this study, exogenous transcription factors were rationally selected and transcriptional engineering was carried out to increa...
