Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is a filamentously growing, spore-forming, obligately aerobic actinobacterium that uses both a copper aa3 -type cytochrome c oxidase and a cytochrome bd oxidase to respire oxygen. Using defined knockout mutants, we demonstrated that either of these terminal oxidases was capable of allowing the bacterium to grow and complete its developmental cycle. The genes encoding the bcc complex...
