Abstract
The carB gene is a novel carbomycin resistance-conferring gene isolated from Streptomyces thermotolerans and used to construct a number of cloning vectors for use in Streptomyces and related organisms. One such coloning vector, plasmid pOJ159, can be obtained in S. griseofuscus C581 under the accession number NRRL 18090. S. lividans and S. griseofuscus are the preferred hosts when the carB gene is used to select carbomycin-resistant Streptomyces transformants.
