Abstract:
Objective To construction the conjugal transfer system of M. purpurea, and optimize it. Methods Two exchange arms, which were respectively located upstream and downstream of C-methyltransferase gene gntK, were amplified by PCR from M. purpurea G1008 genomic DNA. Erythromycin resistance gene (ermE, used as screening mark) were then inserted into the arms, and the recombinant plasmid pFD306, containing the arms and ermE, for homologous recombination were constructed from thermal sensitive plasmid pKC1139. The plasmid pFD306 was then transformed into M. purpurea G1008 by conjugation. Results One positive transformant was selected from the plate with erythromycin, which was named GK1008. After PCR identification and sequencing, it was confirmed that pFD306 was integrated into the chromosome of G1008. The resistant ability of the mutant strain to erythromycin and apramycin were all more than 500μg/mL. Conclusion Both the construction of the conjugal transfer system for M. purpurea and the optimization of the system reached the expected purpose, which provide a reference for genetic manipulation of the other Micromonospora.
