Abstract excerpt
We have characterized a mutant of Streptomyces clavuligerus NRRL 3585 which is almost completely blocked in cephalosporin biosynthesis and exhibits depressed activities of both the delta(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) synthetase and cyclase enzymes of the cephalosporin pathway. A wild-type DNA region was cloned which partially restores antibiotic production, ACV synthetase and cyclase activities...
