Abstract excerpt
We have cloned the seven genes that are responsible for biosynthesis of the antibiotic fortimicin A (FTM A) using a recently developed self-cloning system that employes the plasmid vector pMO116 for Micromonospora olivasterospora. Five chimeric plasmids that restored FTM A production in M. olivasterospora mutants blocked at different biosynthetic steps were isolated by shotgun cloning. Secondary transformation...
