Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces rochei 7434AN4 predominantly produces lankacidin and lankamycin under normal culture conditions, thus suggesting that other biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites are silent. To identify the silent metabolites of 7434AN4, we constructed mutant KA57 with multiple disruptions of the transcriptional repressor srrB and the biosynthesis genes for both antibiotics. KA57 accumulated a compound...
