Abstract

The malEFG gene cluster of the Gram-positive mycelial actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was cloned and sequenced. MalEFG show only limited similarity to homologues involved in maltose and maltodextrin transport in other bacteria. Disruption of malE prevented the utilization of maltose as carbon source. Transcription of malE was induced by maltose and repressed by glucose.
