The filamentous bacteria Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans exhibit a complex life cycle. After a branched submerged mycelium has been established, aerial hyphae are formed that may septate to form chains of spores. The aerial structures possess several surface layers of unknown nature that make them hydrophobic, one of which is the rodlet layer. We have identified two homologous proteins, RdlA and RdlB, that are involved in the formation of the rodlet layer in both streptomycetes. The rdl genes are expressed in growing aerial hyphae but not in spores. Immunolocalization showed that RdlA and RdlB are present at surfaces of aerial structures, where they form a highly insoluble layer. Disruption of both rdlA and rdlB in S. coel...
