New tool for genome editing in #Streptomyces. Curious to know what people are using. Different systems for different species or is there a one-size-fits-all?

Thanks for posting - I'm very pleased with this paper which happens to be our first in @plosbiology.org. Great working with you!
What happens to the colossal stash of C- and N-rich (but chemically inaccessible) chitin generated by the global insect population? Love this @plosbiology.org paper from Justin Nodwell & co which shows that #Streptomyces have the equipment to exploit it...
More than a billion tons of #chitin are produced on Earth each year. This study shows that the soil #bacterium #Streptomyces venezuelae thrives on chitin from #insect #exoskeletons, using a potent mix of chitinases and a dedicated chitobiose importer @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/45sg4S5
