  • Patent number: 11884952
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel daptomycin-producing Streptomyces strain and use thereof, the strain is a subspecies of streptomyces griseus, named Streptomyces griseus L340, and the preservation number is CGMCC17921. The genetic character and fermentation unit of the strain provided by the present invention are relatively stable, the culture and fermentation conditions are suitable for industrial production of daptomycin, and the interference of pigment in later separation and purification is eliminated. The secondary metabolite daptomycin is obtained through fermentation of the Streptomyces provided by the present invention, which has the advantages of no interference of pigment accumulation, cleaner metabolic spectrum and thus is obviously superior in later separation and purification.

  • Publication number: 20210079487
    Abstract: The present invention provides a screening method of negative regulatory factors of a Streptomyces biosynthesis gene cluster, the method including: constructing a reporter system in a Streptomyces cell, which is mediated by a promoter of a self-owned target gene of the Streptomyces cell, and then randomly mutating Streptomyces with the reporter system by using a random mutation system constructed based on a transposon Himar1; intensively screening Streptomyces strains that have been subjected to random mutation to obtain a Streptomyces strain with high expression of the target gene; performing phage packaging on a genome of the Streptomyces strain with high expression of the target gene and screening out a cosmid with a random insert; and determining the position of the random insert in the genome of the Streptomyces strain with high expression of the target gene by sequencing DNAs of the cosmid.
