Characterization of a mycothiol ligase mutant of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1.

Research in microbiology - 1 Jan 2000

Dosanjh Manisha, Newton Gerald L, Davies Julian

Abstract excerpt

Mycothiol (1d-myo-inosityl 2-[N-acetyl-L-cysteinyl]amido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside) is an important microbial thiol present only in actinomycetes. Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 degrades a wide range of xenobiotics, including polychlorinated biphenyls, nitriles and N-nitrosodimethylamine. Analyses revealed that this strain produces two thiols, mycothiol and ergothioneine, found in the other actinomycetes. A...
