Studies on the biochemistry of streptomyces. III. Glucose catabolism in Streptomyces griseus.

Oxidation of Meloxicam by Streptomyces griseus

The aim of the present investigation was to biotransform the anti-inflammatory compound meloxicam by enzymes present in whole cells of five actinomycete cultures to produce novel bioactive derivatives. Among the actinomycetes screened, Streptomyces griseus NCIM 2622 was found to possess the enzyme system(s) that oxidize meloxicam into two metabolites whereas that present in S. griseus NCIM 2623...

جداسازی و تأیید مولکولی سریع استرپتومایسس های تولید کننده آنتی بیوتیک استرپتومایسین

Introduction: Streptomyces species are mycelial, aerobic gram-positive bacteria that are isolated from soil and produce a diverse range of antibiotics. Streptomyces griseus produces the antibiotic, streptomycin and forms spores even in a liquid culture. The gene cluster for the production of Streptomycin antibiotic contains strR gene that encodes StrR, a pathway-specific regulator. Then, this p...

Chromosomal circularization in Streptomyces griseus by nonhomologous recombination of deletion ends.

Streptomyces linear chromosomes frequently cause deletions at both ends spontaneously or by various mutagenic treatments, and concomitantly display dynamic structural changes such as circularization and arm replacement. We have cloned and sequenced the fusion junctions of circularized chromosomes in two deletion mutants of Streptomyces griseus. No homology and a 1-bp overlap were found between ...

Isolation and characterization of a phage active against streptomyces griseus

CebR as a master regulator for cellulose/cellooligosaccharide catabolism affects morphological development in Streptomyces griseus.

Streptomyces griseus mutants exhibiting deficient glucose repression of beta-galactosidase activity on lactose-containing minimal medium supplemented with a high concentration of glucose were isolated. One of these mutants had a 12-bp deletion in cebR, which encodes a LacI/GalR family regulator. Disruption of cebR in the wild-type strain caused the same phenotype as the mutant, indicating that ...
