Abstract excerpt

Fifteen mutants of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) blocked in both the bipyrrole branch (redA) and a second site specific to the undecylprodigiosin pathway were characterized. Some of the mutants were ordered biosynthetically based on cosynthesis experiments. Complementation of each of the mutants...
