Abstract excerpt
Aklavinone is an aglycone of aclacinomycin A which is an important antitumor drug. Genes for the biosynthesis of aklavinone were cloned from Streptomyces galilaeus 3AR-33, an aklavinone-producing mutant, by use of the actI and actIII polyketide synthase gene probes. Restriction mapping and Southern analysis of the DNA cloned in a lambda phage vector established that the DNA represented three different regions of...
