title: Genome structure in Streptomyces spp.: adjacent genes on the S. coelicolor A3(2) linkage map have cotransducible analogs in S. venezuelae.
abstract: Cotransduction analysis in Streptomyces venezuelae with the generalized transducing phage SV1 showed that several pairs of likely analogs of markers that are adjacent on the conjugational linkage map of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) were cotransducible and therefore physically close together. This supports the contention that taxonomically distinct "species" of Streptomyces are genetically closely related.
