Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces clavuligerus produces the beta-lactam antibiotics penicillin N, O-carbamoyldeacetylcephalosporin C and cephamycin C. We characterized a wild-type DNA region which restores antibiotic formation to a mutant strain named NP1, previously shown to exhibit depressed activities for two early enzymes of cephalosporin synthesis, delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine synthetase (ACVS) and...
