Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)
Background
Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is a model organism for Streptomyces research. It was the first Streptomycete to have its genome sequenced in 2002[1]. The genome has a size of 8667507 bp with more than 20 predicted gene clusters for secondary metabolites. Two of these secondary metabolites are notable for being pigmented, (which has facilitated genetic screens for mutations that affect production of these metabolites): S. coelicolor produces a characteristic blue pigment due to the production of the secondary metabolite actinorhodin (Act), as well as a red pigment due to the production of undecylprodigiosin (Red).
Growth & Maintenance
S. coelicolor grows well on SFM agar and in TSB liquid medium.
Sporulation
S. coelicolor sporulates well on SFM and IMA.
Strains
Superhosts
S. coelicolor 'superhost' strains were engineered to help increase expression of a heterologous gene or pathway by deleting certain pathways in the native host to decrease competition of nutrients and resources [2]. The strain M1146 lacks four biosynthetic gene clusters for the production of secondary metabolites. M1152 additionally has mutations in rpoB, which encodes the β subunit of RNA polymerase, and rpsL, which encodes ribosomal protein S12, which have been shown to increase the production of antibiotics.
