Abstract excerpt
Largimycins are a recently discovered group of hybrid nonribosomal peptide-polyketide compounds belonging to the leinamycin family of natural products. They are produced in Streptomyces argillaceus by the lrg biosynthetic gene cluster, which includes three cytochrome P450 encoding genes. By characterizing the compounds accumulated by mutants lacking these three genes, we have determined their essential roles in...
