Genetic homologies among Streptomyces violaceoruber strains.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the genetic studies on streptomycetes have been done with cultures erroneously designated as Streptomyces coelicolor. To determine whether these cultures are genetically homologous with the S. violaceoruber nominifer, their deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) were analyzed, and selected pairs of mutants were crossed. The four cultures used in genetic studies, and called S. coelicolor in the literature, were found to constitute a genospecies, based upon DNA hybridization and recombination tests. In addition, DNA from Actinopycnidium caeruleum formed extensive duplexes with S. violaceoruber DNA. S. violaceoruber cultures and A. caeruleum were distinctly different from the S. coelicolor nominifer.

Poly R decolorization and APPL production by Streptomyces violaceoruber and Streptomyces spiroverticillatus
Two mesophilic streptomycetes (S. violaceoruber and S. spiroverticillatus) were selected to study their Poly R-478 decolorization ability and lignocellulose solubilizing activity. Both strains were able to degrade Poly R-478 dye and ferulic acid during growth on a minimal salts medium. The Poly R-478 decolorizing activities of both strains were induced by adding different carbon sources to the ...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity among Plant Pathogenic Streptomyces Strains from Potato Fields in Northwest of Iran
Different species of Streptomyces are common in most types of soil. Some certain species are plant pathogenic especially on potato. This study was conducted to evaluate genetic diversity among some local Streptomyces spp. strains isolated from soil and infected tubers in potato farms in northwest of Iran. Repetitive DNA elements (BOX, ERIC and REP) as genetic markers were used for diversity stu...
متن کاملThe distribution of DNA sequences hybridizing with antibiotic production and resistance gene probes within type strains and wild isolates of Streptomyces species.
Total DNA preparations from 74 antibiotic-producing type strains and 102 natural Streptomyces isolates were examined by dot blots for homology to 6 antibiotic production and resistance genes. Pattern diversity of hybridizations decreased as stringency increased from 65% to 85%. There were 146 unique profiles at 65% stringency with 13 repeated patterns, whilst there were only 14 unique and 11 re...
متن کاملStreptomyces thinghirensis sp. nov., isolated from rhizosphere soil of Vitis vinifera.
A novel actinomycete, strain S10(T), was isolated from rhizosphere soil of wild Vitis vinifera in Thinghir, Ouarzazate Province, Southern Morocco. The taxonomic status of this strain was established using a polyphasic approach. Strain S10(T) had white-grey aerial mycelium with long, spiral spore chains bearing smooth surfaced spores and produced a yellow diffusible pigment. Chemotaxonomic analy...
متن کاملFunctional complementation of pyran ring formation in actinorhodin biosynthesis in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) by ketoreductase genes for granaticin biosynthesis.
A mutation in actVI-ORF1, which controls C-3 reduction in actinorhodin biosynthesis by Streptomyces coelicolor, was complemented by gra-ORF5 and -ORF6 from the granaticin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces violaceoruber Tü22. It is hypothesized that, while gra-ORF5 alone is a ketoreductase for C-9, gra-ORF6 gives the enzyme regiospecificity also for C-3.
