Abstract excerpt
The (p)ppGpp synthetase gene, relA, of Streptomyces clavuligerus was cloned, sequenced and shown to be located in a genomic region that is highly conserved in other Streptomyces species. relA-disrupted and relA-deleted mutants of S. clavuligerus were constructed, and both were unable to form aerial mycelium or to sporulate, but regained these abilities when complemented with wild-type relA. Neither ppGpp nor...
