Improved fermentation process for producing the Gram-positive antibiotic A47934 which comprises cultivating a new strain of Streptomyces toyocaensis, NRRL 18112, and a biologically purified culture of this microorganism are provided.
摘要:
Novel vectors and methods for a single-stranded DNA mediated gene transfer system via transformation, fusion or transduction of Streptomyces, other actinomycetes, and E. coli using a variety of vectors. Phasmid shuttle vectors of the invention are particularly useful as single-stranded vectors that appear to bypass one or more host cell restriction systems, and thus increase the efficiency of gene transfer into highly restrictive host cell systems. New and useful vectors are provided that allow for the cloning of genes both for increasing the yields of known antibiotics and also for producing new antibiotics, antibiotic derivatives, or any other useful gene product, including a variety of mammalian protein products.

摘要:
The present invention is a method for expressing functional polypeptides in Streptomyces using a recombinant DNA expression vector comprising a novel transcriptional- and translational- activating sequence. The novel activating sequence can be synthesized by conventional methods and used in Streptomyces expression vectors. One such vector, plasmid pFJ350, expresses and confers hygromycin resistance in Streptomyces host cells.

The present invention discloses novel recombinant DNA cloning vectors for use in Streptomyces and related organisms. These novel cloning vectors contain genetic markers that provide antibiotic resistance or colorimetric selectivity to the host cells. The invention further comprises transformants of the aforementioned vectors.
摘要:
A method for expressing a functional polypeptide in Streptomyces comprises transforming a Streptomyces host cell with a recombinant DNA expression vector and then culturing the transformed cell under conditions suitable for cell growth. The recombinant DNA expression vector comprises the veg or any other homologous Bacillus promoter, a naturally occurring or modified ribosome binding site-containing DNA sequence and a gene that codes for a functional polypeptide such as human pre-proinsulin. The method is specifically exemplified by use of expression plasmids pOW529, pOW539 and transformants, Streptomyces ambofaciens/pOW529 and Streptomyces ambofaciens/pOW539. The method is broadly applicable and is particularly useful in economically important Streptomyces taxa.
