Abstract: The pRBM4 cosmid, which harbors a putative cluster of genes spanning a 31.8-kb chromosomal region of the ribostamycin producer Streptomyces ribosidificus ATCC 21294, was heterologously expressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. ESI-MS/MS, HPLC, and LC-ESI MS analyses showed that the transformation gave rise to ribostamycin production in various culture broths. This is the first report of heterologous aminoglycoside production. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
