Abstract excerpt
The multi-enzyme system responsible for the biosynthesis of iturin, an antifungal lipopeptide of Bacillus subtilis, was partially purified by chromatography on different affigels. In the wild-type strain, two subunits of the iturin synthetase (ITs and ITagp) were characterized: ITs activated only...
