Abstract excerpt
A reporter-guided mutant selection (RGMS) method has been developed wherein reporters are used to facilitate selection of target over-expressing mutants. It was applied to improve clavulanic acid (CA) production in Streptomyces clavuligerus. In a single-reporter design, the transcriptional activator ccaR of CA biosynthesis was chosen as the over-expressing target, and neo (resistance to kanamycin) as the...
