Enhanced lincomycin production by co-overexpression of metK1 and metK2 in Streptomyces lincolnensis
24 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces lincolnensis is generally utilized for the production of lincomycin A (Lin-A), a clinically useful antibiotic to treat Gram-positive bacterial infections. Three methylation steps, catalyzed by three different S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferases, are required in the biosynthesis of Lin-A, and thus highlight the significance of methyl group supply in lincomycin production. In this...
