Abstract excerpt
Although previously reported attempts to construct recA null mutants in Streptomyces spp. have been unsuccessful, we have used the suicide plasmid pErmdeltaRecA to inactivate the recA gene in Streptomyces rimosus by gene disruption. pErmdeltaRecA carries the erythromycin resistance gene ermE and a 451-bp fragment of the S. rimosus recA gene (encoding amino acids 2-151). An erythromycin-resistant clone with single...
