Abstract excerpt
The lantibiotic actagardine A is nineteen amino acids in length and comprises three intertwined C-terminal methyllanthionine-bridged rings and an N-terminal lanthionine-bridged ring. Produced by the actinomycete Actinoplanes garbadinensis ATCC 31049, actagardine A demonstrates antibacterial activity against important Gram-positive pathogens. This activity combined with its ribosomal synthesis makes it an...
