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:28 Streptomyces strains isolated from common scab lesions of potato tubers from a wide geographic range in Norway, were selected for microarray analysis. The selected strains were subjected to species identification by microarray, 16S phylogenetic analysis and PCR; and microarray-based comparative genome analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of S. turgidiscabies and S. europaeiscabiei in Norway.
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:Comparative genomic hybridization analysis of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) versus Streptomyces lividans 66 and Streptomyces lividans TK24 using high density 105,000 x 60-mer ink-jet in situ synthesized arrays.
Project description:28 Streptomyces strains isolated from common scab lesions of potato tubers from a wide geographic range in Norway, were selected for microarray analysis. The selected strains were subjected to species identification by microarray, 16S phylogenetic analysis and PCR; and microarray-based comparative genome analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of S. turgidiscabies and S. europaeiscabiei in Norway. 28 Norwegian Streptomyces strains were hybridized in duplicates, one S.turgidiscabies strain (St32) and one S.scabies strain (ATCC49173) were hybridized in 4 replicates. Two out of 64 hybridizations failed (replicate hybridizations of Norwegian strains 33 and 44), for a total of 62 samples. Normalization was based on log-ratios against reference strain.
Project description:In order to define the impact of phosphate (Pi) availability on cellular metabolism the project aimed to perform a comparative analysis of the proteomes of two Streptomyces strains with different abilities to produce antibiotics, S. coelicolor and S. lividans as well as of the pptA mutant of S. lividans, grown low (1mM) and high (5mM) phosphate (Pi) availability conditions. Interestingly, in contrast to most Streptomyces species, S. coelicolor produces more antibiotics in Pi proficiency than in Pi limitation, S. lividans does not produce antibiotics in any Pi conditions and the pptA mutant produces antibiotics only in Pi limitation. This in-depth proteomic comparison of three Streptomyces strains (S. coelicolor, S. lividans wt and pptA mutant), in different growth conditions (time and Pi concentration in the medium) was performed on four biological replicates. Protein abundance changes were determined using two label-free mass spectrometry based-quantification methods: spectral count (SC) and MS1 ion intensities named XIC (for eXtracted Ion Current). Our proteomic data reveal for the first time, the impact of Pi availability on the abundance of approximately 4000 proteins of these Streptomyces strains with different abilities to produce antibiotics. The most striking feature differentiating these strains was the much higher abundance of enzymes of the respiratory chain in both phosphate conditions in S. coelicolor compared to the S. lividans strains.
Project description:Streptomyces bingchenggensis is a soil bacterium that produces milbemycins, which have been applied widely as insecticides and anthelmintics in agricultural and veterinary field. To gain further insights into the regulatory mechanisms in Streptomyces bingchenggensis and mine useful targets for future metabolic engineering to improve milbemycin production, we have compared two strains(the parental strain and high-yielding strain)by comparative transcriptome analysis.This work provides beneficial targets and corresponding engineering methods to facilitate high-production of milbemycins and other polyketide pesticides.
