Abstract excerpt

A 4-kb BamHI fragment of Streptomyces viridochromogenes Tü494 carrying phosphinothricin-tripeptide (PTT) biosynthetic genes has been identified by complementation of a nonproducing mutant which is defective in the tripeptide formation step. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed one incomplete and...
