Streptomyces albus J1074
- Streptomyces albus J1074 is commonly used as a heterologous host for production of secondary metabolites.
- It makes an efficient host partially because of its fast growth and naturally minimised genome.
- Its genome is one of the smallest within the Streptomyces genus, with a size of 6,841,649 bp, coding for 5,832 genes.
- It has a GC content of 73.3%, one of the highest of all the streptomycetes.
- S. albus J1074 has a valine- and isoleucine- auxotrophic phenotype and is defective in the SalI (SalGI) restriction-modification system, which means it can easily be genetically manipulated.
