Abstract excerpt
The avermectin analogue doramectin (CHC-B1), which is produced in mutants that have an altered biosynthesis pathway of avermectin, is one of the most effective agricultural pesticides and antiparasitics. We report here the construction of a bkdF olmA double-deletion mutant lacking one of the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase encoding genes (bkdF) and the oligomycin PKS encoding gene cluster (olmA) in...
