Abstract excerpt
In our effort to find the key intermediates of lankacidin biosynthesis in Streptomyces rochei, three UV-active compounds were isolated from mutant FS18, a gene disruptant of lkcA encoding a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-polyketide synthase (PKS) hybrid enzyme. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data of NMR and MS. Two compounds of a higher mobile spot on silica gel TLC...
