Abstract excerpt
Unlike other Streptomyces spp., the streptomycin producer Streptomyces griseus IFO13189 shows emergence of a small fraction of rsmG and rpsL mutants among spontaneous low- or high-level streptomycin-resistant mutants. rsmG, but not rpsL, mutants showed greater ability (two- to threefold) to produce streptomycin, accompanied by enhanced transcription of metK and strR, together with streptomycin biosynthetic genes,...
