Abstract excerpt

Butyrate and isobutyrate (after isomerization to n-butyrate) are specific precursors for the biosynthesis of monensin A in Streptomyces cinnamonensis. High concentrations of both butyrate and isobutyrate (greater than 20 and 10 mM, respectively) were toxic to S. cinnamonensis plated on solid medi...
