Abstract excerpt
We found that a polycistronic operon (ywfBCDEFG) and a monocistronic gene (ywfH) are required for the biosynthesis of bacilysin in Bacillus subtilis. The disruption of these genes by plasmid integration caused loss of the ability to produce bacilysin, accompanied by a lack of bacilysin synthetase activity in the crude extract. We investigated the regulatory mechanism for bacilysin biosynthesis using the...
