Prototrophic recombinants and heterocaryotic colonies developed at high frequency when protoplasts of nutritionally complementary actinomycin-producing and nonproducing strains of Streptomyces antibioticus were fused in the presence of polyethylene glycol and plated on minimal regeneration medium. Of the spores obtained from aerial hyphae of a single heterocaryotic colony, 99% carried the act+ character regardless of whether the nutritional markers of the spore were derived from the act+ or the act parent. Similarly, a high-frequency transfer (68% in S. antibioticus, 48% in Streptomyces parvulus) of act+ determinant(s) to act was achieved by protoplast fusion. Protoplasts of a doubly auxotrophic act strain of S. parvulus were efficiently transformed in the presence of polyethylene glycol with respect to the auxotrophic markers by DNA of an act+ auxotrophic strain with complementary nutritional requirements. The transformation frequency of the nutritional (chromosomal) markers was 17%. In contrast, the transformation frequency for actinomycin synthesis was less than 1%.

Protoplast fusion permits high-frequency transfer of a Streptomyces determinant which mediates actinomycin synthesis
