Abstract excerpt
We have developed a system for the introduction and maintenance of novel tandem repeats in the chromosome of Streptomyces lividans 66. This was achieved by introducing, via transformation, Escherichia coli "suicide" vectors carrying manipulated S. lividans DNA fragments. Selection for antibiotic resistance markers carried on such plasmids permitted the isolation and maintenance of mutant strains containing novel...
