Mutant libraries of avermectin-producing Streptomyces avermitilis strains were constructed by different mutagenesis strategies. A metric was applied to assess the mutation spectrum by calculating the distribution of average phenotypic distance of each population. The results showed for the first time that a microgravity environment could introduce larger phenotype distribution and diversity than UV and N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) could.
通过不同的诱变策略构建了阿维链霉菌产阿维菌素突变体库。通过计算每个群体平均表型距离的分布,应用一种度量标准来评估突变谱。结果首次表明,微重力环境可以比 UV 和 N-甲基-N-硝基-N-亚硝基胍(NTG)引入更大的表型分布和多样性。
