Abstract excerpt
The biosynthetic pathway of ganefromycin alpha (8) was investigated using blocked mutants of Streptomyces lydicus spp. tanzanius, the ganefromycin alpha producer, in conjunction with bioconversion experiments with the products of these mutants. Compounds 1-7 and 9-15, which are structurally related to ganefromycin alpha, were produced by cultures of secretor mutants showing blockage or diminished production of 8....
