Abstract excerpt
Many Streptomyces species exhibit a very high degree of genetic instability which is usually manifested as genomic rearrangements such as large deletions. In Streptomyces ambofaciens DSM40697, two levels of genetic instability were previously described: (i) a basic genetic instability similar to that reported for other strains, and (ii) hypervariability, a phenomenon that we believe to be a new aspect of...
