Abstract
Phage SV1-mediated transduction in the chloramphenicol-producing streptomycete Streptomyces sp. 3022a strains 13s and its derivatives is reported. The present data provide the first evidence for transduction by an apparently virulent phage in a genetically mapped streptomycete. Exploitation of this system may facilitate fine structure genetic mapping in strain 13s, including possible genetic analysis of genes controlling chloramphenicol biosynthesis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
