Among mutants of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) studied which were sensitive to chloramphenicol (Cmls), strains sensitive to a number of antibiotics (ristomycin, tetracycline, polymyxin, lincomycin) amount of 46%. Antibiotic-sensitive mutants are capable to form different classes of resistant revertants with frequency varying from 10(-2) to 10(-6) in independent strains. Ristomycin-sensitive clones (Rims) have been found to occur with high frequency in Cmls strains and Cmlr revertants. Mutations mediating the Rims phenotype are mapped in a locus linked to the gene for resistance to chloramphenicol. The results obtained are discussed, in accordance with the notion about possible role of cml mutation in induction of secondary mutational changes in the genome of S. coelicolor A3(2).

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D011113 Polymyxins Basic lipopeptide antibiotic group obtained from Bacillus polymyxa. They affect the cell membrane by detergent action and may cause neuromuscular and kidney damage. At least eleven different members of the polymyxin group have been identified, each designated by a letter. Polymyxin,Polymyxin M
D002702 Chloramphenicol Resistance Nonsusceptibility of bacteria to the action of CHLORAMPHENICOL, a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis in the 50S ribosomal subunit where amino acids are added to nascent bacterial polypeptides. Chloramphenicol Resistances
D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D005838 Genotype The genetic constitution of the individual, comprising the ALLELES present at each GENETIC LOCUS. Genogroup,Genogroups,Genotypes
D012310 Ristocetin An antibiotic mixture of two components, A and B, obtained from Nocardia lurida (or the same substance produced by any other means). It is no longer used clinically because of its toxicity. It causes platelet agglutination and blood coagulation and is used to assay those functions in vitro. Ristomycin
D013302 Streptomyces A genus of bacteria that form a nonfragmented aerial mycelium. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. This genus is responsible for producing a majority of the ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS of practical value.
D013753 Tetracycline Resistance Nonsusceptibility of bacteria to the action of TETRACYCLINE which inhibits aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit during protein synthesis.
