Abstract excerpt
A gene (bar) was identified adjacent to the hrdD sigma factor gene in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The predicted bar product showed 32.2% and 30.4% identity to those of the pat and bar genes of the bialaphos (Bp) producers Streptomyces viridochromogenes and Streptomyces hygroscopicus, respectively; these genes encode phosphinothricin (PPT) N-acetyltransferases that function as enzymes in the Bp biosynthetic...
