Biosynthesis of Mupirocin by <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i> NCIMB 10586 Involves Parallel Pathways
13 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mupirocin, a clinically important antibiotic produced via a trans-AT Type I polyketide synthase (PKS) in Pseudomonas fluorescens, consists of a mixture of mainly pseudomonic acids A, B, and C. Detailed metabolic profiling of mutant strains produced by systematic inactivation of PKS and tailoring genes, along with re-feeding of isolated metabolites to mutant stains, has allowed the isolation of a large number of...
