Streptomyces peucetius, producer of the antitumor anthracycline antibiotic daunorubicin, was mutagenized, and mutants defective in daunorubicin biosynthesis were screened. One mutant (SPVI), which failed to produce daunorubicin, was found to overproduce an extracellular chitinase. Time course analyses of chitinase production and of the extracellular protein profile showed that the increase in activity is due to increased synthesis of the enzyme protein. The production of chitinase in SPVI was repressed by glucose as in the case of wild-type S. peucetius. PFGE analysis of VspI restriction fragments of S. peucetius and SPVI showed that there was no major alteration in the mutant genome. The hybridization pattern of S. peucetius and SPVI genomic DNA digested with various restriction enzymes was identical when probed with dnrUVJI genes of the S. peucetius daunorubicin cluster and chiA of Streptomyces lividans 66. The possible step affected in the daunorubicin biosynthetic pathway could be a polyketide synthase, since aklanonic acid, the earliest detectable intermediate in the daunorubicin pathway, was not synthesized in SPVI.Key words: Streptomyces peucetius, chitinase, daunorubicin, NTG mutagenesis.

ABSTRACT Putative hopanoid genes from Streptomyces peucetius were introduced into Escherichia coli to improve the production of squalene, an industrially important compound. High expression of hopA and hopB (encoding squalene/phytoene synthases) together with hopD (encoding farnesyl diphosphate synthase) yielded 4.1 mg/liter of squalene. This level was elevated to 11.8 mg/liter when there was also increased expression of dxs and idi, E. coli genes encoding 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase and isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase.
