Auroramycin: A Potent Antibiotic from Streptomyces roseosporus by CRISPR‐Cas9 Activation
25 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Silent biosynthetic gene clusters represent a potentially rich source of new bioactive compounds. We report the discovery, characterization, and biosynthesis of a novel doubly glycosylated 24-membered polyene macrolactam from a silent biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces roseosporus by using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene cluster activation strategy. Structural characterization of this polyketide, named auroramycin,...
