Abstract

A novel gene conferring resistance to spiramycin in Streptomyces and related organisms was cloned from a genomic library of Streptomyces ambofaciens DNA. A thirty-one Kb fragment of S. ambofaciens DNA including the spiramycin-resistance gene was isolated from this library on a cosmid designated pKC592. The novel spiramycin-resistance gene can be isolated on an .about.2.9 Kb BamHI fragment by subcloning restriction fragments obtained from the pKC592 insert DNA. This BamHI fragment contains all of the information required for the expression of the spiramycin resistant phenotype in Streptomyces. Vectors and transformants containing the novel spiramycin resistance gene are provided.
