Filed:

Feb 28, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/795632

Inventors:

Janet Westpheling - Bogart GA
Julie A. Burke - Athens GA

Assignee:

The University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. - Athens GA

International Classification:

C12Q 170

US Classification:

435 5, 435 6, 435 29, 4352351, 4352521, 435472, 435475

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to isolated transducing phages, methods of isolating transducing phages, and methods of using transducing phages including, for instance, transferring at least one nucleic acid fragment from a donor microbe to a recipient microbe, and producing a secondary metabolite from a microbe. The transducing phages typically have a broad host range, and transduce microbes in the Order Actinomycetales, in particular in the Family Streptomycetaceae, including , and. The transducing phages can be specialized transducing phages or generalized transducing phages.

The present invention is directed to isolated transducing phages, methods of isolating transducing phages, and methods of using transducing phages including, for instance, transferring at least one nucleic acid fragment from a donor microbe to a recipient microbe, and producing a secondary metabolite from a microbe. The transducing phages typically have a broad host range, and transduce microbes in the Order Actinomycetales, in particular in the Family Streptomycetaceae, including Streptomyces coelicolor, Streptomyces lividans, Streptomyces venezuelae, Streptomyces avermitilis, and Saccharopolyspora erythraea. The transducing phages can be specialized transducing phages or generalized transducing phages.
