Abstract excerpt
Neomycin, produced by Streptomyces fradiae, has been widely used for the treatment of bacterial infections in clinical and agricultural applications. In this study, a neomycin nonproducing mutant of S. fradiae was obtained by gene disruption technique for mutational biosynthesis. A crucial gene neoC (neo7) which encodes 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS) synthases was disrupted. The mutant could resume producing neomycin...
