چکیده

A kanamycin-producing strain, Streptomyces kanamyceticus ISP5500, is resistant to kanamycin. A kanamycin resistance determinant was cloned from S. kanamyceticus into Streptomyces lividans 1326, using the plasmid vector pIJ702. The resulting plasmid, pMCP5, could also transform Streptomyces lavendulae S985 and Streptomyces parvulus 2283 to kanamycin resistance. Transformants carrying pMCP5 were markedly more resistant than S. kanamyceticus to the aminoglycoside antibiotics sisomicin, tobramycin, amikacin, and gentamicin. Studies in vitro polyphenylalanine synthesis showed that strains carrying pMCP5 contained kanamycin-resistant ribosomes. However, growing S. kanamyceticus contained kanamycin-sensitive ribosomes. Ribosomes from S. kanamyceticus grown under kanamycin-producing conditions were kanamycin resistant.

Cloning and characterization of the sisomicin-resistance gene from Micromonospora inyoensis.

We cloned DNA fragments of sisomicin-producing Micromonospora inyoensis into Streptomyces plasmid vectors and identified Streptomyces lividans TK24 transformants expressing the M. inyoensis sisomicin-resistance (sisA) gene. The sisA gene was compared to the previously reported Micromonospora purpurea Kan-Gen (kanamycin-gentamicin)-resistance gene. While the restriction endonuclease digestion pa...

Conjugation and transformation of Streptomyces species by tylosin resistance.

The tlrB gene from Streptomyces fradiae has been cloned and used to construct bifunctional Streptomyces-Escherichia coli shuttle vectors carrying the antibiotic resistance genes to kanamycin-neomycin, thiostrepton and tylosin as selection markers. In the same way, the tlrB gene was subcloned in plasmids including the apramycin resistance gene and the oriT sequence from the plasmid pSET152 to fa...

Strain- and species-specific distribution of the streptomycin gene cluster and kan-related sequences in Streptomyces griseus.

The streptomycin (SM) gene cluster was investigated for its distribution in streptomycetes by Southern hybridization using nick-translated DNA probes, which were isolated from the SM-6-phosphotransferase (SPH) and amidinotransferase (ADT) regions of the SM gene cluster of Streptomyces griseus SS-1198. Bgl II-digested genomic DNAs from SM-producing strains of S. griseus yielded the same size fra...

Cloning and expression in streptomyces lividans of antibiotic resistance genes derived from Escherichia coli.

Hybrid plasmids that replicate in both Escherichia coli and Streptomyces lividans were constructed in vitro by joining the E. coli-derived plasmid pACYC184 or pACYC177, at their BamHI or PstI restriction site, respectively, to S. lividans plasmid pSLP111. After introduction of the composite replicons into S. lividans by transformation, chloramphenicol (Cm) resistance encoded by pACYC184 and kan...

Protoplast Regeneration and Transformation of Thiostrepton-Producing Streptomyces Zaurentii ATCC 31255

The optimum condition for the protoplast formation and regeneration of S(yeptomyces Laurentii ATCC 31255 was studied. The effective formation and regeneration of protoplasts were obtained by using the mycelia grown to the stationary phase in the presence of 0.4% glycine, and by treatment with 1 mg/ml of lysozyme in PWP buffer. When plasmids, pMCP5 and its derivative pYK3 (smaller in size) havin...
