Fig. 4From: Protein expression analysis of a high-demeclocycline producing strain of Streptomyces aureofaciens and the roles of CtcH and CtcJ in demeclocycline biosynthesisDeletion of ctcH and ctcJ genes. a Schematic representation of the in-frame deletion of ctcH and ctcJ. A 410-bp fragment of ctcH and a 254-bp fragment of ctcJ were replaced with the 1145-bp neo gene by double crossover. b Confirmation of the ctcH deletion and ctcJ deletion mutants with PCR amplification. c 6-DCT production during the fermentation of the parental strain DT1 and the ctcH-deleted, ctcJ-deleted strainsBack to article page
