Abstract excerpt
Bacillus and Streptomyces species possess the ability to produce a variety of commercially important metabolites and extracellular enzymes. We previously demonstrated that antibiotic production in Streptomyces coeli-color A3(2) and Streptomyces lividans can be enhanced by RNA polymerase (RNAP) mutations selected for the rifampicin-resistant (Rif(r)) phenotype. Here, we have shown that the introduction of a...
