Elaiomycins K and L, two new azoxy-type antibiotics, were detected by HPLC-diode array screening in the culture filtrate extract of Streptomyces sp. Tü 6399. The structures were determined by high-resolution MS and 2-dimensional (1)H and (13)C correlated NMR spectroscopy including (15)N-NMR experiments and established these compounds as new members of the elaiomycin family. Both metabolites show a weak antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus lentus as well as against the phytophathogenic strain Xanthomonas campestris.

A reporter gene system, based on luciferase genes from Vibrio harvei, was constructed for measurement of translation nonsense suppression in Streptomyces. Using the site-directed mutagenesis the TCA codon in position 13 of the luxB gene was replaced by all of the three stop codons individually. By cloning of luxA and luxB genes under the control of strong constitutive Streptomyces promoter ermE* in plasmid pUWL201 we created Wluxl with the wild-type sequence and pWlux2, pWlux3 and pWlux4 plasmids containing TGA-, TAG- and TAA-stop codons, respectively.
