    Interactions between Actinophage and their Streptomycete Hosts in Soil and the Fate of Phage Borne Genes

    Streptomycetes are an integral part of the soil community and grow as branching mycelia within soil aggregates. In the presence of exogenous nutrients, soil is rapidly colonized by growing mycelia, and the sub...

    Detection of Streptomyces Marker Plasmids in Soil

    Marker plasmids incorporating a thermoregulated xylE gene (for catechol 2,3-dioxygenase) were constructed for use in Streptomyces. xylE was expressed from bacteriophage lambda promoters, λpL and λpR, under the co...

    Molecular detection of bacterial and streptomycete chitinases in the environment

    Sets of PCR primers were designed to amplify bacterial chitinases at different levels of specificity. The bacterial chitinase group primers were successful in targeting enzymes classified within the group A gl...

    Phylogeny of Streptomyces species and evidence for horizontal transfer of entire and partial antibiotic gene clusters

    The phylogenetic relationships of a collection of streptomycete soil isolates and type strains were resolved by sequence analysis of trpB,a housekee** gene involved in tryptophan biosynthesis. The analysis conf...

    Interactions between Salmonella typhimurium and Acanthamoeba polyphaga, and Observation of a New Mode of Intracellular Growth within Contractile Vacuoles

    Acanthamoeba polyphaga feeding on Salmonella typhimurium in a simple model biofilm were observed by light microscopy and a detailed record of interactions kept by digital image capture an...
