Genetic recombination in the cephamycin producer,Streptomyces clavuligerus

European Journal of Applied Microbiology, 1977
In order to study the mechanism of cephamycin production by streptomycetes and to use genetic recombination in strain development, we undertook genetic studies inStreptomyces lipmanii andS. clavuligerus. S. lipmanii crosses gave 0.005–1.3% “prototroph-like” colonies, but all segregated back to parental genotypes. Crosses ofS.

Pathways and Regulation of Ammonium Assimilation in Streptomyces clavuligerus

Microbiology, 1986
Summary: Glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase and alanine dehydrogenase activities were detected in crude extracts of Streptomyces clavuligerus. Glutamate dehydrogenase and alanine: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase could not be found. Glutamate synthase levels were independent of the nitrogen source in the culture medium.

Alanine dehydrogenase of the ?-lactam antibiotic producer Streptomyces clavuligerus

Archives of Microbiology, 1980
L-Alanine dehydrogenase was found in extracts of the antibiotic producer Streptomyces clavuligerus. The enzyme was induced by ammonia, and the level of induction was dependent on the extracellular concentraction. L-Alanine was the only amino acid able to induce alanine dehydrogenase.

Regulation of extracellular protease production in Streptomyces clavuligerus

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1990
The production of extracellular protease by Streptomyces clavuligerus was strongly influenced by the nature of the nitrogen source. Production took place in batch cultures during growth at low or intermediate growth rates, but was delayed to the post-exponential phase in media supporting high growth rates.

Metabolic Engineering of Cephalosporin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces clavuligerus

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1994
The biosynthesis of beta-lactams is one of the most thoroughly studied antibiotic pathways. The availability of the characteristics and the time profiles of activities of enzymes involved in the biosynthesis allows one to critically evaluate the potential rate-limiting steps in its production.

Isolation and characterization of a linear DNA plasmid from Streptomyces clavuligerus

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1988
A linear DNA plasmid (pSCL) has been isolated from Streptomyces clavuligerus by a method employing high concentrations of protease. Rate-zonal sedimentation on sucrose gradients was used to purify the plasmid. The plasmid is 12 kb in length and appears to be linked to protein at its 5' termini.

Kinetic Mechanism of the β-Lactam Synthetase of Streptomyces clavuligerus

Biochemistry, 2000
Streptomyces clavuligerus beta-lactam synthetase (beta-LS) was recently demonstrated to catalyze an early step in clavulanic acid biosynthesis, the ATP/Mg(2+)-dependent intramolecular closure of the beta-amino acid N(2)-(carboxyethyl)-L-arginine (CEA) to the monocyclic beta-lactam deoxyguanidinoproclavaminic acid (DGPC).

Precursor and Cofactor as a Check Valve for Cephamycin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces clavuligerus

Biotechnology Progress, 1999
The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites is closely linked to primary metabolism via the supply of precursors, cofactors, and cellular energy. The availability of these precursors and cofactors can potentially be rate-limiting for secondary metabolism.

Purification and properties of isopenicillin N epimerase from Streptomyces clavuligerus

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 1989
Isopenicillin N epimerase, which catalyzes conversion of isopenicillin N to penicillin N, has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell-free extract of Streptomyces clavuligerus by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatographies with DE-52, DEAE Affi-gel blue, Sephadex G-200, calcium phosphate-cellulose, and ...

Nitrogen nutrition and regulation of cephalosporin production in Streptomyces clavuligerus

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1979
When used as sole nitrogen source, certain amino acids (e.g., proline, asparagine) supported both growth and sporulation by Streptomyces clavuligerus streaked onto solid defined medium. Ammonium supported growth but suppressed sporulation. Amino nitrogen was best for cephalosporin production in liquid defined medium, although urea was almost as useful.
