title: Construction and synchronization of dnaA temperature-sensitive mutants of Streptomyces.
abstract: Temperature-sensitive mutants of Streptomyces defective in initiation of chromosome replication were created by in vitro site-directed mutagenesis in the dnaA gene followed by gene replacement. When they were shifted to 39 degrees C replication in the mutants ceased in about 90 min but resumed on return to 30 degrees C. This allowed manipulations to achieve replication synchronization.
