Antibiotic Overproduction in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) Mediated by Phosphofructokinase Deletion

TL;DR: High level production of antibiotics in streptomycetes requires engineering of the primary metabolism, and targeting a key enzyme in glycolysis, phosphofructokinase, leads to improved antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).
Journal ArticleDOI

Back to the future of soil metagenomics

Joseph Nesme, +49 more
TL;DR: The ability to explore soil microbial communities with increasing capacity offers the highest promise for answering many outstanding who, what, where, when, why, and with whom questions such as: Which microorganisms are linked to which soil habitats?
Journal ArticleDOI

Two novel homologous proteins of Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans are involved in the formation of the rodlet layer and mediate attachment to a hydrophobic surface

TL;DR: Sequences homologous to rdlA and rdlB occur in a number of streptomycetes representing the phylogenetic diversity of this group of bacteria, indicating a general role for these proteins in rodlet formation and attachment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of DNA Binding and Transcriptional Activation by the LysR-Type Transcriptional Regulator CbbR of Xanthobacter flavus

TL;DR: The LysR-type transcriptional regulator CbbR controls the expression of the cbb and gap-pgk operons in Xanthobacter flavus, which encode the majority of the enzymes of the Calvin cycle required for autotrophic CO2 fixation.
Book ChapterDOI

Production of specialized metabolites by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).

TL;DR: This review discusses systematically the biochemistry and genetics of each of the specialized metabolites of S. coelicolor and describes metabolite transport processes for excretion and complex regulatory patterns controlling biosynthesis.
