A Type I/Type III Polyketide Synthase Hybrid Biosynthetic Pathway for the Structurally Unique ansa Compound Kendomycin
29 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Kendomycin is a bioactive polyketide that is produced by various Streptomyces strains. It displays strong antibiotic activities against a wide range of bacteria and exhibits remarkable cytotoxic effects on the growth of several human cancer cell lines. In this study we cloned the corresponding biosynthetic locus from the producer Streptomyces violaceoruber (strain 3844-33C). Our analysis shows that a mixed type...
