| Research Abstract |
In order to breed streptomycetes that can produce antibiotics using cellulosic biomass as fermentation raw materials, we isolated highly cellulolytic Streptomyces strain C42 from soils. We constructed a gene expression cassette harboring all the nine cellulase genes that the strain carries to create a cellulase expression vector for streptomycetes. Non cellulolytic streptomycete transformed with the vector secreted cellulases but failed to degrade cellulose and filter paper in contrast to the C42 strain. We also isolated five genes encoding enzymes related to utilization of cellobiose, a final product of cellulose digested by cellulase, from another streptomycete to construct a cellobiose-utilizing expression vector. The results on the cellulase expression suggested that it is crucial to enhance the expression levels of the cellulase genes to generate vectors which enable streptomycetes to induce the degradation of cellulolytic materials for the fermentative production of antibiotics.
