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 three complete genes on the cloned fragment. The incomplete gene ('pms) codes for the C terminus of the...
