Abstract excerpt
About 22,000 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine- and UV-induced mutants of the rubber-degrading bacterium Streptomyces sp. strain K30 were characterized for the ability to produce clear zones on natural rubber latex overlay agar plates. Thirty-five mutants were defective solely in cleavage of rubber and were phenotypically complemented with the wild-type lcp (latex clearing protein) gene. Sixty-nine mutants...
