Abstract
By examining the conserved regions in the protein sequences of eight different Streptomyces phospholipase Ds (PLD) reported so far and the X-ray crystallographic structure of a Streptomyces PLD, we designed a peptide sequence, DPANRGAVGSGGYSQIKSL, for the screening of microorganisms producing PLD. In the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a mouse antibody raised against the designed peptide, we recovered seven producing strains out of 128 soil isolates.
