Abstract excerpt
Hitachimycin is a macrolactam antibiotic with an (S)-β-phenylalanine (β-Phe) at the starter position of its polyketide skeleton. (S)-β-Phe is formed from l-α-phenylalanine by the phenylananine-2,3-aminomutase HitA in the hitachimycin biosynthetic pathway. In this study, we produced new hitachimycin analogs via mutasynthesis by feeding various (S)-β-Phe analogs to a ΔhitA strain. We obtained six hitachimycin...
