Mechanism of Antimycin A Resistance in Bacillus subtilis

Mechanism of Resistance to Actinomycin in Bacillus Subtilis.

Polsinelli, M. (University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy), O. Ciferri, G. Cassani, and A. Albertini. Mechanism of resistance to actinomycin in Bacillus subtilis. J. Bacteriol. 88:1567-1572. 1964.-Strains of Bacillus subtilis were rendered resistant to actinomycin D by serial transfer in increasing concentrations of the drug. Resistance to the antibiotic appeared to be due to an altered cell-wall perme...

Conditional dihydrostreptomycin resistance in Bacillus subtilis.

Mutants resistant to dihydrostreptomycin were isolated and genetically analyzed in Bacillus subtilis. Two new classes of mutants distinct from the ribosomal strA locus were found. One class, strB, was located between metC3 and ura-1 on the chromosome. The second class, strC, mapped in the spore gene region close to the spoA locus. Both mutant classes were resistant to dihydrostreptomycin during...

New chloramphenicol resistance locus in Bacillus subtilis.

A spontaneously occurring, noninducible, chloramphenicol-resistant mutant of Bacillus subtilis 168 has a mutation (cam-2) which maps in the ribosomal protein region of the chromosome near dal. Its presence does not confer dependence on chloramphenicol. Ribosomes of the cam-2 strain remained sensitive to chloramphenicol in in vitro protein synthesis. No chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity...
