Abstract excerpt
The generation of unmarked deletion mutants free from polar effects on downstream genes is typically a lengthy and arduous process in Streptomyces spp. The use of FLP recombinase can greatly facilitate this process when combined with established polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-targeting techniques. In vivo production of FLP within Streptomyces cells would streamline the process further, but expression of flp in...
