ABSTRACT:
Novel vectors and methods for a single-stranded DNA mediated gene transfer system via transformation, fusion or transduction of Streptomyces, other actinomycetes, and E. coli using a variety of vectors. Phasmid shuttle vectors of the invention are particularly useful as single-stranded vectors that appear to bypass one or more host cell restriction systems, and thus increase the efficiency of gene transfer into highly restrictive host cell systems. New and useful vectors are provided that allow for the cloning of genes both for increasing the yields of known antibiotics and also for producing new antibiotics, antibiotic derivatives, or any other useful gene product, including a variety of mammalian protein products.
