Organization of the biosynthetic gene cluster for the polyketide macrolide mycinamicin in<i>Micromonospora griseorubida</i>
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mycinamicin, composed of a branched lactone and two sugars, desosamine and mycinose, at the C-5 and C-21 positions, is a 16-membered macrolide antibiotic produced by Micromonospora griseorubida A11725, which shows strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The nucleotide sequence (62 kb) of the mycinamicin biosynthetic gene cluster, in which there were 22 open reading frames (ORFs), was...
