Summary
A newly isolated strong Streptomyces promoter (P1) has been cloned in front of the xylA gene of Streptomyces violaceoniger. This led to a strong and constitutive expression. To avoid instability of plasmid and glucose isomerase activity, the P1-xylA gene has been integrated into the chromosome using the integrative vector pTS55. The resultant CBS1 strain has about seven times higher glucose-isomerase activity in absence of xylose compared to that of wild type strain fully induced by xylose. In addition, glucose isomerase specific activity of the CBS1 strain increases in the secondary growth phase, in contrast to wild type strain.
