Popis: | The mechanism of self-defence against their own product was studied in five aminoglycoside-producing Micromonospora (M.) species: M. grisea (verdamicin producer); M. inyoensis (sisomicin producer); M. sagamiensis (sagamicin producer); M. rhodorangea (antibiotic G-418 producer) and M. zionensis (antibiotic G-52 producer). Analysis of cell-free extracts of these organisms showed that they were devoid of modification enzymes specific for aminoglycosides. They contained, however, high-level resistant ribosomes. Mixed subunit exchange experiments of ribosomes from the producer strains and from a sensitive non-producing species (M. melanosporea) demonstrated that it is the 30S subunit which confers resistance. |
