Avenolide, a <i>Streptomyces</i> hormone controlling antibiotic production in <i>Streptomyces avermitilis</i>

Abstract excerpt

Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Streptomyces are industrially important microorganisms, producing >70% of commercially important antibiotics. The production of these compounds is often regulated by low-molecular-weight bacterial hormones called autoregulators. Although 60% of Streptomyces strains may use γ-butyrolactone-type molecules as autoregulators and some use furan-type molecules, little is known about...
