Figure 4From: Development of a gene cloning system in a fast-growing and moderately thermophilic Streptomyces species and heterologous expression of Streptomyces antibiotic biosynthetic gene clustersQuantitation of actinorhodin production by M145 and by 4F containing the cloned actinorhodin gene cluster in liquid medium. About 1 × 106 spores of M145 and of 4F containing pCWH74 were inoculated into 50 ml R2YE liquid medium (lacking KH2PO4 and CaCl2) at 30 and 37°C. Samples of 1 ml culture were harvested in a time-course and treated with KOH; absorption at OD640 indicated actinorhodin production.Back to article page
