Abstract excerpt
Paraquat (methyl viologen)-resistant mutants of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) that grew and sporulated normally in the presence of paraquat were isolated. Based on the positions of the mutant loci in the genetic map, we isolated the pqr (paraquat resistance) gene whose mutation (pqr501) caused a dominant paraquat-resistant phenotype. The pqr locus consists of two genes (pqrA and pqrB) that form a transcription...
