Gene Cluster Responsible for Validamycin Biosynthesis in <i>Streptomyces hygroscopicus</i> subsp. <i>jinggangensis</i> 5008
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
A gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of validamycin, an aminocyclitol antibiotic widely used as a control agent for sheath blight disease of rice plants, was identified from Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. jinggangensis 5008 using heterologous probe acbC, a gene involved in the cyclization of D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate to 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone of the acarbose biosynthetic gene cluster originated...
