Molecular Regulation of β-Lactam Biosynthesis in Filamentous Fungi
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
The most commonly used beta-lactam antibiotics for the therapy of infectious diseases are penicillin and cephalosporin. Penicillin is produced as an end product by some fungi, most notably by Aspergillus (Emericella) nidulans and Penicillium chrysogenum.
