Nocardioforms are Gram-positive, aerobic actinomycetes and are a metabolically diverse group which produce antibiotics, useful enzymes, are important in the biotransformation of organic compounds and the decomposition of organic wastes and are important medically. A gene cloning vector designated pLR591 was constructed from the broad host range, multicopy Streptomyces plasmid pIJ702 and the positive selection Escherichia coli plasmid pEcoR251. This plasmid has useful features for the construction of actinomycete genomic libraries. Cloning of DNA into the unique Bg1II endonuclease site of pLR591 inactivated the lethal EcoRI gene derived from pEcoR251, thereby selecting for recombinant plasmids containing inserted DNA. The thiostrepton resistance gene derived from pIJ702 was shown to be functional in Streptomyces lividans enabling selection of recombinant pLR591 plasmids containing foreign DNA in S. lividans. The vector pLR591 therefore functions as a positive selection Streptomyces-E. coli shuttle vector facilitating construction of actinomycete genomic libraries in E. coli and subsequent transfer of recombinant plasmids into S. lividans. 2016-09-25T16:46:55Z 2016-09-25T16:46:55Z 1988 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/21896 eng application/pdf Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
