Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces coelicolor produces a brown pigment on nutrient-limited agar medium (Tyr-PM) using l-tyrosine as the sole nitrogen and carbon source. The pigment production is associated with the second step of l-tyrosine catabolism catalysed by 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HppD), which converts 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (4HPP) to 2, 5-dihydroxyphenylacetate (homogentisate) to provide the carbon and energy...
