Genome resequencing of the PrpoB-ftgA and S-7 strains. Actinoplanes missouriensis 431

The actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis forms flagellated zoospores that swim in water. The zoospores stop swimming in response to nutrients before germination. FtgA is a protein required for the swimming cessation of zoospores. Zoospores of the ftgA-overexpressing PrpoB-ftgA strain do not swim in water. The S-7 strain was isolated from a mutant library generated via UV radiation to the zoospores of the PrpoB-ftgA strain. Zoospores of the S-7 strain swim in water and keep moving after germination. Therefore, genome sequencing of the PrpoB-ftgA and S-7 strains was conducted to identify mutations generated on the genome of the S-7 strain.
