Identification of poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) degradation intermediates during growth of moderately thermophilic actinomycetes on rubber and cloning of a functional lcp homologue from Nocardia farcinica strain E1
Article Abstract:
The isolation and characterization of thermophilic bacteria capable of rubber degradation is presented. A gene (lcp) coding for a protein with high homology to Lcp (latex-clearing protein) from Streptomyces sp. strain K30 is identified in Nocardia farcinica E1 and S. lividans TK23 expressing this Lcp homologue is able to cleave synthetic poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), confirming its involvement in initial polymer cleavage.

Establishment of Tn5096-based transposon mutagenesis in Gordonia polyisoprenivorans
Article Abstract:
The transposons Tn5, Tn10, Tn611 and Tn5096 were characterized regarding transposition in Gordonia polyisoprenivorans strain VH2. One rubber-negative mutant was disrupted in mcr, encoding an alpha-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase.
