Ethidium bromide-resistant mutant of Bacillus subtilis.
An ethidium bromide-resistant mutant (EB8) derived from a Marburg strain of Bacillus subtilis was found to be conditionally resistant to 10 mug of ethidium bromide per ml. Expression of resistance is complete only during vegetative growth at incubation temperatures above 30 C in complex medium or minimal medium supplemented with Casamino Acids. Strain EB8 is cross-resistant to acriflavine and p...
متن کاملStreptomyces coelicolor A3(2) lacks a genomic island present in the chromosome of Streptomyces lividans 66.
Streptomyces lividans ZX1 has become a preferred host for DNA cloning in Streptomyces species over its progenitor, the wild-type strain 66 (stock number 1326 from the John Innes Center collection), especially when stable DNA is crucial for in vitro electrophoresis, because DNA from strain 66 contains a novel modification that makes it sensitive to oxidative double-strand cleavage during electro...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of a new xylanase (xylanase B) produced by Streptomyces lividans 66.
A new extracellular xylanase produced by Streptomyces lividans 66 was isolated from a genetically engineered clone of that strain. This enzyme, named xylanase B, has an Mr of 31,000 and acts specifically on xylan as an endo-type xylanase producing short-chain xylo-oligosaccharides. The activity is optimal at pH 6.5 and at a temperature of 55 degrees C, which is similar to that of the previously...
متن کاملMicroencapsulation extends mycelial viability of Streptomyces lividans 66 and increases enzyme production
BACKGROUND Filamentous bacteria of the genus Streptomyces produce a large arsenal of industrially relevant antibiotics and enzymes. The industrial production of these molecules occurs in large fermenters, where many streptomycetes form dense mycelial networks called pellets. Pellets are characterized by slow growth and inefficient nutrient transfer and therefore regarded as undesirable from the...
متن کاملDiscovery and characterization of a new transposable element, Tn4811, in Streptomyces lividans 66.
Transposition of a new 5.4-kb transposon, Tn4811, of Streptomyces lividans to the melC operon of Streptomyces antibioticus on plasmid pIJ702 was discovered. The nucleotide sequence of this copy of Tn4811, which contained an imperfect (9 of 11 bp) terminal inverted repeat, five putative Streptomyces coding sequences for an oxidoreductase and its transcription regulator, and three transposition-r...
