Project description:This study compared the genome of Streptomyces rimosus rimosus against that of Streptomyces coelicolor. It also compared 4 strains with changes in oxytetracycline production and derived from G7, the type strain, against G7. Keywords: Comparative genomic hybridization
Project description:Bacteria isolated from potato scab lesions in Finland or northern Sweden were analyzed using microarrays, PCR, and sequencing. Data indicate wide genetic variability in pathogenicity islands among S.turgidiscabies and S.scabies strains. Thirteen Streptomyces scabies and turgidiscabies strains from two different growings, Streptomyces reticulisabiei reference strain DSM41804 and Streptomyces scabies reference strain ATCC49173 were hybridized. Data were analyzed in single channel mode.
Project description:Streptomyces bingchenggensis is a soil bacterium that produces milbemycins. Milbemycins are commercially insecticidal and acaricidal antibiotics in agriculture, owing to their advantages such as high efficiency and safety for human and animal. To obtain genes valuable for further improvement of titer, we have compared two strains（the parental strain and high-yielding strain）by whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform. In Streptomyces bingchenggensis, there are abundant transporters, which are responsible for transporting various substrates. In the result, some sugar transporter genes showed significant gene expression.
Project description:Streptomyces bingchenggensis is a soil bacterium that produces milbemycins. Milbemycins and their derivatives are valuable biopesticides in the agricultural field. Owing to their advantages such as high efficiency and safety for human and animal,it was urgent to construct high-yield strain to ensure low production cost. To obtain genes closely correlated with milbemycin production, we have compared the whole genome microarray expression profiling of two strains (the parent one strain and high-yielding strain). In Streptomyces bingchenggensis, there are abundant exporters, which are responsible for transporting various substrates. In the result, some drug exporters were chosen to enhance production of milbemycin .
Project description:Transcription profiling by array of Streptomyces venezuelae wild type and bldN mutant strains during a time course from 8 to 20 hours, sampling at 2 hour intervals.
Project description:Biofilms are ubiquitous in natural, medical, and engineering environments. While most antibiotics that primarily aim to inhibit cell growth may result in bacterial drug resistance, biofilm inhibitors do not affect cell growth and there is less chance of developing resistance. This work sought to identify novel, non-toxic and potent biofilm inhibitors from Streptomyces bacteria for reducing the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Out of 4300 Streptomyces strains, one species produced and secreted peptide(s) to inhibit P. aeruginosa biofilm formation by 93% without affecting the growth of planktonic cells. Global transcriptome analyses (DNA microarray) revealed that the supernatant of the Streptomyces 230 strain induced phenazine, pyoverdine, and pyochelin synthesis genes. Electron microscopy showed that the supernatant of Streptomyces 230 strain reduced the production of polymeric matrix in P. aeruginosa biofilm cells, while the Streptomyces species enhanced swarming motility of P. aeruginosa. Therefore, current study suggests that Streptomyces bacteria are an important resource of biofilm inhibitors as well as antibiotics.
Project description:Genome-wide expression analysis of 6 batch cultivations of actinorhodin-producing wild type and recombinant strain of Streptomyces coelicolor
Project description:We identified genome-wide binding regions of NdgR in Streptomyces coelicolor using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq). We constructed 6×myc-tagged NdgR strain using homologous recombination with myc-tagging vector. Analysis of the sequencing data aligned to Streptomyces coelicolor genome database (NC_003888).
