Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 112 (2015), 12181–12186 A precise quantitative method based on flow cytometry at single-cell (protoplast) resolution in Streptomyces was established for the identification of regulatory elements. A series of native or synthetic promoters and ribosomal binding sites has been characterized. Moreover, an insulator was demonstrated to eliminate element–element interference.
