A new preparation method for immobilizing Streptomyces phaeochromogenes cells in fine-particle form was investigated using radiation-induced polymerization at low temperatures with previously salted out hydrophilic monomers. Using this method, it was found that the glucose isomerase activity of the immobilized cell particles was markedly higher than that of immobilized cells in block form obtained without salting out of the monomer. The diameter of the particles was varied by changing the irradiation temperature or the concentrations of monomer and salt. The magnitude of the enzymatic activity increased with decreasing particle diameter. K(m) values of the immobilized cell particles were close to that of the intact cell. These facts suggested that the cells were trapped on the surface of the particle.

The LitR/CarH family comprises adenosyl B-based photosensory transcriptional regulators that control light-inducible carotenoid production in nonphototrophic bacteria. In this study, we established a blue-green light-inducible hyperexpression system using LitR and its partner ECF-type sigma factor LitS in streptomycin-producing Streptomyces griseus NBRC 13350. The constructed multiple-copy number plasmid, pLit19, carried five genetic elements: pIJ101rep, the thiostrepton resistance gene, litR, litS, and σ-recognized light-inducible crtE promoter.

In the search for new antibiotics, it is a common occurrence that already known molecules are "rediscovered" while new promising ones remain unnoticed. A possible solution to this problem may be the so-called "target-oriented" search, using special reporter microorganisms that combine increased antibiotic sensitivity with the ability to identify a molecule's damaging effect. The use of such test organisms makes it possible to discover new promising properties even in known metabolites.

The use of microbial phosphotriesterases in the degradation of organophosphorus compounds employed as pesticides, plasticizers and petroleum additives is a sustainable alternative for bioremediation of water and soils, decontamination of particular foods and as poisoning antidote. Whole cells of six wild type microorganisms-Streptomyces phaeochromogenes, Streptomyces setonii, Nocardia corynebacterioides, Nocardia asteroides and two Arthrobacter oxydans-selected in our lab as phosphotriesterase sources, were further tested as biocatalysts in the hydrolysis of paraoxon, methyl paraoxon, methyl parathion, coroxon, coumaphos, dichlorvos and chlorpyrifos, highlighting 98% conversion of chlorpyrifos into its hydrolysis products using whole cells of S. phaeochromogenes at pH 8 and 40 °C.

A novel actinomycete, designated TRM68295, was isolated from the sediments of the Tailan River, Xinjiang, northwest China. The study of the polyphasic approach showed that the characteristics of the strain were consistent with the genus Streptomyces. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the strain had a high sequence similarity with Streptomyces phaeochromogenes ATCC 3338 (97.
