Abstract excerpt
The herboxidiene biosynthetic gene cluster contains a regulatory gene and six biosynthetic genes that encode three polyketide synthases (HerB, HerC and HerD) and three tailoring enzymes (HerE, HerF and HerG). Through single crossover recombination, an integrative plasmid was inserted into the genome of Streptomyces chromofuscus ATCC 49982 between herE and herF, resulting in low-level expression of herF and the...
