METHOD OF SELECTING RECOMBINANT DNA-CONTAINING STREPTOMYCES

A novel method of selecting Streptomyces recombinant DNA-containing host cells and vectors useful in the method are described. The vectors confer tylosin resistance to sensitive Streptomyces host cells and thus provide a convenient method of selecting Streptomyces transformants. The novel tylosin re...

Zusammenfassung:A novel method of selecting Streptomyces recombinant DNA-containing host cells and vectors useful in the method are described. The vectors confer tylosin resistance to sensitive Streptomyces host cells and thus provide a convenient method of selecting Streptomyces transformants. The novel tylosin resistance-conferring gene described can be isolated on an DIFFERENCE 2.6 kb KpnI restriction fragment from plasmid pSVB2. Plasmid pSVB2 can be isolated from Streptomyces lividans TK23/pSVB2 (NRRL 15880).
