Abstract excerpt

The genetic instability of Streptomyces ambofaciens affects the pigmentation of colonies and generates a variety of mutants the majority of which display large genome rearrangements. Among them, the Pig-pap mutants, which probably result from a mutational event occurring during aerial mycelium growth, display specific features, since they are unable to sporulate and do not harbor any large detectable genome...
