The conditions for optimal formation and regeneration of protoplasts of Streptomyces clavuligerus were established. The optimal temperature for regeneration of protoplasts and for transformation was 26 degrees C in three different regeneration media. The best efficiency of transformation was obtained with 40% polyethylene glycol 1000. The efficiencies of regeneration and transformation increased greatly when protoplasts were obtained from cultures in the early stationary phase of growth. The number of transformants per assay increased linearly with rising concentrations of protoplasts. However, the number of transformants per protoplast decreased at concentrations of protoplasts above 1.5 X 10(9). The total number of transformants rose linearly at increasing plasmid DNA concentrations, but the number of the transformants per microgram of DNA became constant at concentrations above 1 microgram of DNA. Transformation frequencies as high as 5 X 10(5) transformants per microgram of DNA were obtained when plasmid pIJ702 was isolated from S. clavuligerus but not when isolated from Streptomyces lividans.  相似文献

Streptomyces tendae ATCC 31160 produces nikkomycin, a fungicide and insecticide that inhibits chitin synthases. Exposure of S. tendae protoplasts to 50 degrees C for 30 min is required for transformation (10(2) thiostrepton-resistant transformants micrograms of DNA-1) with plasmid pIJ702 or pIJ680 from Streptomyces lividans. pIJ702 and pIJ680 DNA isolated from the S. tendae transformants is efficient (10(6) to 10(7) transformants micrograms of DNA-1) in subsequent transformations of S. tendae protoplasts generated at 30 degrees C. PstI fails to cut the single PstI site in pIJ702 and cuts only one of the two PstI sites in pIJ680 DNA isolated from S. tendae transformants. Digests of plasmid DNA mixtures showed that plasmid DNA from S. tendae does not inhibit PstI activity. pIJ702 and pIJ680 DNA from S. tendae transformants was used to transform S. lividans to show that plasmid DNA remains unchanged, except for modification at some PstI sites in S. tendae, as a consequence of passage through S. tendae. The DNA modification is lost when S. lividans is transformed with plasmid DNA from S. tendae transformants. Since S. tendae modifies only some PstI sites, it appears the modification (presumably restriction activity also) activity in S. tendae recognizes a sequence that includes or overlaps the PstI hexanucleotide recognition sequence.  相似文献

A method for the preparation and regeneration of protoplasts of Streptomyces lincolnensis is described. Mycelium in the early exponential phase appeared to be most suitable for this purpose and yielded up to 25% regenerated intact cells. Transformation of S. lincolnensis protoplasts was achieved using broad-host-range streptomycete plasmid vectors pIJ622, pMP66, pRS410 and pIJ943 constructed from replicons pIJ101, pSLG33 and SCP2. The efficiency of transformation was 3.10(3) transformants per micrograms plasmid DNA when (2-5).10(7) recipient protoplasts were used. Interspecific transformations showed that there is no efficient restriction system in S. lincolnensis that would limit the transfer of genetic information from S. lividans or E. coli.  相似文献

A PEG-mediated transformation system for Chainia (NCL 82-5-1) was developed using a broad host range Streptomyces vector, pIJ702. Protoplasts prepared from Chainia (NCL 82-5-1) were regenerated with 5% efficiency. Transformation of the protoplasts with pIJ702 gave 10-20 transformants/micrograms DNA. The low efficiency of transformation is attributed to a restriction system in Chainia; this could be inhibited by treating the protoplasts at 42 degrees C for 10 min just before transformation. The yield of transformants increased 100-fold when pIJ702 was modified by passage in Chainia. Because the plasmid replicon was functional in Chainia and the modified plasmid was stably maintained, the transformation system should be useful for self-cloning in Chainia NCL 82-5-1 of the many commercially important enzymes this strain is known to produce.  相似文献

Usually plasmid DNA is introduced into Streptomyces strains by polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation of protoplasts. However, many Streptomyces strains are only poorly or not at all transformable via protoplasts. Therefore, we have optimized the parameters critical for the application of electrotransformation of plasmid DNA into Streptomyces species. The most critical parameters evaluated for electrotransformation of the model strain Streptomyces rimosus R6 were the pretreatment of mycelia, buffer composition, and electric field strength. The electrocompetent mycelia were prepared from 24-h-old cultures, treated mildly with lysozyme, resuspended in sucrose-glycerol-polyethylene glycol buffer, and stored in aliquots at -70 deg C. The electric field strength of 10 kV/cm at 400 (Omega) and a capacitance of 25 (mu)F was applied. The method is simple and rapid, yielding transformant colonies in 48 to 72 h. Efficiencies of 10(sup5) to 10(sup6) transformants per (mu)g of plasmid DNA were reproducibly achieved for S. rimosus R6 and its mutants, and these numbers were 10(sup2) to 10(sup3) higher than those attained by polyethylene glycol-assisted transformation of protoplasts. In addition, we show that electroporation can be applied to other Streptomyces species, such as S. lividans 66, S. coelicolor A3(2), and an S. venezuelae strain. This last one could not be transformed by the standard protoplast procedure. Our data suggest that, because of the diversity of streptomycetes, the conditions have to be optimized for each strain.  相似文献

A procedure has been developed for transforming protoplasts of the novobiocin producing strain Streptomyces niveus at high frequency. This required the isolation of strains LH13 and LH20 defective in DNA restriction from the wild type (ATCC 19793) which is transformed at very low frequencies. The LH13 and LH20 derivatives were obtained by curing pIJ702 DNA from the few S. niveus transformed protoplasts obtained by transformation of the wild type with high concentrations of pIJ702 DNA. Protoplasts of S. niveus strains LH13 and LH20 produced about 10(6) transformants/micrograms DNA with modified pIJ702 DNA derived by replication in S. niveus. Unmodified DNA (derived from replication in S: lividans) from a series of pIJ101, SCP2 and pSN2-based derivatives, gave transformation frequencies in the range of 10(2)-10(3) transformants/micrograms DNA. Optimal conditions for the formation and transformation of S. niveus protoplasts are described.  相似文献

Abstract We have developed a transformation system for Streptomyces wadayamensis , a cephamycin C producer. 1−5 × 109 protoplasts can be obtained when late logarithmic phase cultures of this microorganisms are incubated with 10 mg/ml of lysozyme. Polyethylene glycol-Ca2+-mediated transformation of these protoplasts yielded 106 transformants per μg of pIJ702 or pIJ365 DNA.  相似文献

Protoplasts of Streptomyces granaticolor were found to be transformable by the broad-host-range plasmid pIJ350 but no transformants were detected when the narrow-host-range plasmid pIJ2 or the shuttle vector pPM66 (pIJ350--pBR322) isolated from E. coli cells were used. The onset of blue colour granaticin production by S. granaticolor cells was used as a marker to prepare protoplasts with a high transformation capacity. The presence of a restriction system is discussed.  相似文献

Inhibition of restriction in Streptomyces clavuligerus by heat treatment   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
Inefficient transformation of Streptomyces clavuligerus protoplasts by DNA from the plasmid pIJ702, isolated from S. lividans, was attributed to restriction in view of the observation that efficient transformation was observed using modified pIJ702 (isolated from S. clavuligerus). The restriction system could be partially inhibited by treating protoplasts at 45 degrees C prior to transformation. This treatment increased the transformation frequencies of pIJ702 DNA by 100-fold and was used to introduce other plasmids into S. clavuligerus.  相似文献

Summary Polyethylene glycol (PEG) efficiently mediated the transformation ofStreptomyces avermitilis protoplasts by plasmid DNA to yield 107 transformants per g of plasmid DNA. Under conditios in which the maximum transformation frequency was observed, the cotransformation frequency exceeded 10%. The number of transformants increased linearly with the amount of DNA and number ofS. avermitilis protoplasts. Relaxed and supercoiled, but not linear DNA transformed protoplasts efficiently. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-mediated transformation of protoplasts was 1000-fold less efficient. PEG and, less efficiently, DMSO also mediated the transformation of whole cells ofS. avermitilis by DNA.  相似文献

Protoplasts of commercial strain No. 1 of Streptomyces roseolus producing lincomycin were prepared. Conditions for protoplast storage and regeneration were defined. The protoplasts of strain No. 1 mutants marked by the rifampicin and thiostrepton resistance and the ability to synthesize melanin pigments were fused. Genetic analysis of the recombinants was performed. Systems for transformation of S. roseolus protoplasts by plasmid DNAs were developed. Efficiency of transformation by pIJ702, pIJ61, pVG101 and pBG3 and stability of the transformants were shown.  相似文献

A procedure for efficient transformation of Streptomyces ambofaciens and Streptomyces fradiae protoplasts with plasmid DNA was developed. Transformation frequencies with S. fradiae protoplasts were strongly influenced by the temperatures for cell growth, protoplast formation, and protoplast regeneration. Transformation frequencies for both species were also influenced by the culture age before protoplast formation, the source and concentration of polyethylene glycol, the transformation-inducing agent, the concentration of protoplasts used in the transformation procedure, and the number of protoplasts added to regeneration plates. Transformation frequencies were substantially higher for both species when calf thymus DNA and protamine sulfate were added to the transformation mix. With S. fradiae, transformation frequencies were much lower with plasmid DNA prepared from other species than with the same plasmids prepared from S. fradiae, suggesting that S. fradiae expresses restriction and modification. With the modified transformation procedures using DNA prepared from homologous hosts, S. ambofaciens and S. fradiae are now transformed routinely at frequencies of 10(6) to 10(7) transformants per micrograms of plasmid DNA.  相似文献

Improved method for electroporation of Staphylococcus aureus   总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19  
We have developed a significantly improved method for the electroporation of plasmid DNA into Staphylococcus aureus. The highest transformation efficiency achieved with this procedure was 4.0 x 10(8) transformants per microgram of plasmid pSK265 DNA. This represents a 530-fold improvement over the previously reported optimum efficiency of 7.5 x 10(5) transformants per microgram of plasmid DNA after electroporation of S. aureus cells [9]. Identical results were obtained when electrocompetent cells, which had been stored frozen at -80 degrees C, were used. The improved efficiency is due primarily to the use of a modified medium (designated as B2 medium) and secondarily to the use of 0.1-cm cuvettes. Several other plasmids (pI258, pMH109, and pSK270) were also electrotransformed into competent cells using our procedure, and for each plasmid, the transformation efficiency was significantly reduced compared to that observed when pSK265 DNA was used. With respect to plasmid pI258, the transformation efficiency was 3500-fold higher than that reported previously for transformation of this plasmid into S. aureus RN4220 [9]. The optimized electroporation procedure was less successful in transforming other staphylococci. Electrocompetent cells of S. aureus ATCC 29213 and S. epidermidis ATCC 12228 produced 5.5 x 10(5) and 5 x 10(3) transformants per microgram of pSK265 DNA, respectively.  相似文献

Summary Germinating spores of Streptomyces lividans, S. aureofaciens, S. rimosus and S. virginiae were electrotransformed with pIJ699, pIJ702, pWOR109 and pZAT22 plasmid DNAs. In all cases, thiostrepton resistant transformants were obtained with an efficiency of 1 × 102 to 5 × 103 per g of plasmid DNA.  相似文献

Streptomyces peucetius and Streptomyces strain C5, producers or anthracycline antibiotics, were converted to protoplasts from vegetatively growing mycelia. Conditions are described for maximal protoplast formation (greater than 99%) and for regeneration frequencies of up to 13%. Streptomycete plasmids pIJ61, pIJ702, and pIJ922, from the replicons SLP1, pIJ101, and SCP2, respectively, were isolated from Streptomyces lividans 66 and successfully introduced into S. peucetius and Streptomyces strain C5 by polyethylene glycol-mediated protoplast transformation. Frequencies of up to 10(6) transformations X microgram of plasmid DNA-1 were achieved by these procedures. Analyses showed that the two anthracycline-producing strains can stably harbor the plasmids without deletion of plasmid sequences or loss of the plasmids for several transfers through selective media. Fragments of DNA from S. peucetius ligated into pIJ702 and introduced into Streptomyces strain C5 were stable after several transfers through selective media. Both anthracycline producers also were sensitive to infection and transfection by actinophages KC401 and KC515, clear plaque derivatives of bacteriophage phi C31. Optimal conditions were determined for the transfection of S. peucetius and Streptomyces strain C5 protoplasts with phi C31 KC401 and KC515 DNA with liposome-assisted, polyethylene glycol-mediated protoplast transfection.  相似文献

Sucrose was unsuitable as an osmotic stabilizer in buffer solutions and media used for transformation of Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230. Its replacement with NaCl, together with other modifications in the procedure, allowed efficient formation and regeneration of protoplasts but did not support transformation of S. venezuelae ISP5230 by vectors pIJ41 and pIJ941. With pIJ702, transformants with a low plasmid-copy-number and altered growth characteristics were obtained. Both pIJ702 and pIJ941, but not pIJ41, transformed S. venezuelae 13s; when pIJ941 was used, the plasmid in 18 of 20 transformants contained a deletion in the region reported to code for replication and transfer. The modified plasmid transformed S. venezuelae ISP5230 efficiently and was used to introduce a fragment of DNA from the pab locus of the wild-type into a Cml-1 mutant of ISP5230 blocked in chloramphenicol formation. Transformants that overproduced p-aminobenzoic acid were obtained but they remained blocked in chloramphenicol production; thus, the cloned pab fragment did not contain genes able to complement the cml-1 mutation. The results also suggest that the Cml-1 phenotype is not due to a defective reaction common to the biosynthesis of p-aminobenzoic acid and chloramphenicol.  相似文献
