Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces tendae Tü901 produces nikkomycins belonging to the nucleoside peptide antibiotics. Mutants defective in histidine catabolism were isolated and characterized with regard to their histidine ammonium-lyase activity and antibiotic synthesis. In the histidine ammonialyase-negative mutant hut-11 which was unimpaired in nikkomycin production histidine aminotransferase activity was detected as an additional...
