链霉菌ACCC40021是尹莘耘1953年分离筛选,用于农业生产的抗生菌肥。该菌株1979年经鉴定为泾阳链霉菌(Streptomyces jingyangensis),但该菌株名称一直没有在国际上得到有效发表。为了在分子水平上明确该菌株的分类地位,对ACCC40021的菌株进行了16SrRNA和gyrB,recA,rpoB和trpB等基因的进化分析,将ACCC40021鉴定为黄赭色链霉菌(Streptomyces silaceus)。

Optimization of transformation procedures in avermectin high-producing Streptomyces avermitilis

The optimal pH conditions for efficient transformation of protoplasts and intact cells were established in avermectin high-producing mutants, ATCC31780 and L-9. Among all factors tested, protoplast buffer pH was elucidated as the most important factor influencing transformation efficiency. The optimal pH of the protoplast buffer for the regeneration of ATCC31780 was 6.5, and using this condition, 4.5 × 10⁶ transformants per g of pIJ702 were produced. At pH 6.3, the maximal number of L-9 transformants was 1.6 × 10⁵ per g of the same plasmid. However, the protoplasting process decreased avermectin productivity to half or one-sixth of ATCC31780 or L-9, respectively. To avoid the productivity loss, electroporation of intact cells without lysozyme treatment was developed for these mutant strains even though this method was approximately 100-fold less efficient. In this method, the initial pH of culture medium was elucidated as a critical factor and optimized for both transformation efficiency and avermectin productivity.     

Interactions and biocontrol of pathogenic Streptomyces strains co-occurring in potato scab lesions

Aims:  To test interactions between pathogenic strains of Streptomyces turgidiscabies , S. scabies and S. aureofaciens . To study biological control of S. turgidiscabies and S. scabies using the nonpathogenic Streptomyces strain (346) isolated from a scab lesion and a commercially available biocontrol agent ( S. griseoviridis strain K61; 'Mycostop').
Methods and Results:  Pathogenic strains of S. turgidiscabies and S. aureofaciens inhibited growth of S. scabies in vitro , whereas strain 346 and S. griseoviridis inhibited the pathogenic strains and were subsequently tested for control of scab in the greenhouse and field. Strains 346 and K61 suppressed development of common scab disease caused by S. turgidiscabies in the greenhouse. Strain 346 reduced incidence of S. turgidiscabies in scab lesions on potato tubers in the field.
Conclusions:  Streptomyces turgidiscabies shows antagonism against S. scabies that occurs in the same scab lesions and shares the ecological niche in the field. Biocontrol of S. turgidiscabies is possible with nonpathogenic Streptomyces strains but interactions may be complicated.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Streptomyces turgidiscabies may have potential to displace S. scabies under the Scandinavian potato growing conditions. Biological control of the severe potato scab pathogen, S. turgidiscabies , is demonstrated for the first time. The results can be applied to enhance control of common scab.

添加胰蛋白酶促进Streptomyces hygroscopicus CCTCC M203062产谷氨酰胺转胺酶

研究了添加胰蛋白酶对Streptomyces hygroscopicus CCTCC M203062合成谷氨酰胺转胺酶的影响。结果表明,添加胰蛋白酶可以提高发酵过程中谷氨酰胺转胺酶的酶活。摇瓶培养中,在发酵起始时添加200U/ml的胰蛋白酶,谷氨酰胺转胺酶的酶活最高达到了6.61U/ml,比对照提高了27.1%。初步研究表明,添加胰蛋白酶可以直接切割发酵过程中产生的酶原,使其被快速地转化为成熟酶,因此推测胰蛋白酶提高谷氨酰胺转胺酶酶活的原因是解除了酶原的产物抑制作用,产生更多的酶原,从而促进了产酶。     

Role of trehalose in the spores of Streptomyces

Abstract Dormant spores of Streptomyces antibioticus contain large amounts of trehalose (11–12% of dry weight) and can be subjected to a dehydration treatment without a significant loss of viability. Loss of dehydration resistance coincided with a decrease in the trehalose level of the spores, under different conditions of incubation. The viability of dehydration-sensitive cells was enhanced by the presence of exogenous trehalose during dehydration. The morphology and functional activity of isolated membranes of S. antibioticus can be retained when dehydrated in the presence of trehalose. It is suggested that, in dormant spores of S. antibioticus , trehalose may serve to protect cellular components during dehydration by acting as a substitute for water.     

Characterization of Streptomyces D3 derived from protoplast fusion between Streptomyces cyaneus 190-1 and Streptomyces griseoruber 42-9

Streptomyces D3, derived from protoplast fusion between Streptomyces cyaneus 190-1 and Streptomyces griseoruber 42-9, has the ability to produce high levels of xylose isomerase when grown on hemicellulosic materials such as xylan as the carbon source. Comparison between the partial nucleotide sequences of the 16S ribosomal RNA genes from S. cyaneus 190-1, S. griseoruber 42-9, and fusant D3 showed that the 16S rRNA gene of fusant D3 was identical to that of S. cyaneus 190-1. Partial sequence analysis of the xylose isomerase genes also indicated that the gene of fusant D3 was identical to that of S. cyaneus 190-1. The partial DNA fragments for the xylanase genes (xlnA and xlnB) of fusant D3 were amplified by PCR, and subjected to Southern hybridization analysis. The results revealed that the xlnB gene of fusant D3 was similar to that of S. cyaneus 190-1, but that the xlnA gene of fusant D3 was similar to that of S. griseoruber 42-9. These results suggest that the majority of the genome of fusant D3 may be derived from S. cyaneus 190-1.     

Growth and morphogenesis in Streptomyces

In this report we propose a model of apical growth for streptomycetes. The apical tip is considered as a multilayered wall that expands by an inside-to-outside mechanism of growth. It is also assumed that each layer is made up of peptidoglycan blocks, each of them being the result of the biosynthetic activity of a wall-synthesizing unit or membrane-associated growth zone. According to our model, apical growth occurs as follows: as a consequence of the hydrostatic pressure and the cleavage of some bonds, the layers are pushed and forced to slide (one with respect to the other), migrating from the center of the tip (at the inside of the wall) towards a peripheral location (at the outside of the wall). The model also incorporates a mechanism by which apical growth can be regulated and coordinated with the replication of the chromosome.     

Streptomyces cloning vector derived from Streptomyces lavendulae-grasserius mini-plasmid pSLG33

Abstract The cryptic multicopy plasmid designated pSLG33 (2.65 kb) was isolated from the vegetative mycelium of Streptomyces lavendulae-grasserius RIA 746 and physically characterized. pRS410 vector (5.4 kb) was constructed by insertion of aph and tsr genes coding for neomycin and thiostrepton resistance, respectively, in a non-essential part of the plasmid molecule. The pRS410 is compatible with multicopy Streptomyces plasmid vectors derived from pIJ101 plasmid.     

黑暗链霉菌DNA转移系统的建立

研究了黑暗链霉菌的基因转移系统,探索了通过PEG介导的原生质体转化、接合转移向黑暗链霉菌中转入外源DNA的可能性。多次尝试用质粒pIJ702转化黑暗链霉菌9904原生质体均未成功。对原生质体进行“热处理”后转化、利用单链DNA转化等都不能将质粒导入黑暗链霉菌中,表明黑暗链霉菌对外源DNA有很强的限制修饰作用。利用接合转移将具有oriT的大肠杆菌链霉菌穿梭质粒pHZ132转入大肠杆菌ET12567(pUZ8002)中,获得供体菌ET12567(pUZ8002,pHZ132)。将供体菌与预萌发的黑暗链霉菌9904的孢子进行接合转移,成功地将pHZ132转入黑暗链霉菌9904中。质粒pHZ132经黑暗链霉菌自身修饰后也可转入黑暗链霉菌9904菌株的原生质体中,转化率约为103/μg DNA(pHZ132)。     

Lyophilized Streptomyces aureofaciens spores

The viability of mutant strains of Streptomyces aureofaciens (106 spores/0.2ml) and tetracycline production remained stable for stored lyophilized spores. The same mutant produced (9375±1584) and (12336±1023) g/g of tetracycline (p<0.01), respectively for spores lyophilized in the media: (i) control skim milk with added sucrose and sodium glutamate, and (ii) synthetic polyvinylpyrrolidone plus sucrose, peptone and sodium glutamate.     

Lack of plasmids in Streptomyces hydrogenans

Abstract Wild-type cells of Streptomyces hydrogenans ATCC 19631, strain HY A₁, show a remarkable degree of genetic instability with regard to the biosynthesis of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. As plasmids might be responsible for this phenomenon we tried to detect plasmids in lysates of this microorganism. Streptomyces lividans , strain TK64 (pIJ916), was used as reference strain, containing a 19-kb plasmid with low abundancy. Whereas plasmid DNA could be shown in lysates of S. lividans TK64, no plasmid DNA was detectable in lysates of S. hydrogenans .
