Functional Expression of SAV3818, a Putative TetR-Family Transcriptional Regulatory Gene from Streptomyces avermitilis, Stimulates Antibiotic Production in Streptomyces Species

Abstract excerpt

Avermectin and its analogs are major commercial antiparasitic agents in the fields of animal health, agriculture, and human infections. Previously, comparative transcriptome analysis between the low-producer S. avermitilis ATCC31267 and the high-producer S. avermitilis ATCC31780 using a S. avermitilis whole genome chip revealed that 50 genes were overexpressed at least two-fold higher in S. avermitilis ATCC31780....
