title: Expression in Streptomyces ambofaciens of an Escherichia coli K-12 gene which confers resistance to hygromycin B.
abstract: We have constructed two plasmid vectors (pKC293 and pKC305) that can replicate in Escherichia coli K-12 and Streptomyces ambofaciens. These shuttle vectors were used to demonstrate the expression of two E. coli genes, hygromycin B (Hm) resistance and Tn5 neomycin (Nm) resistance, in S. ambofaciens.
