Abstract excerpt
Cloning of polyether polyketide synthase (PKS) genes for salinomycin biosynthesis was attempted from Streptomyces albus. Seven beta-ketoacyl synthase (KS) core regions were obtained by PCR amplification using primers designed based on the conserved KS domains of type I PKSs. Using the KS fragment as a probe, screening of an S. albus genomic DNA library was carried out by colony hybridization. From the positive...
