  • Method for isolation of biosynthesis genes for bioactive molecules
    Publication number: 20020127659
    Abstract: Degenerate primers which hybridize with various classes of antibiotic biosynthesis genes were used to amplify fragments of DNA from soil and lichen extracts. Cloning and sequencing of the amplified products showed that these products included a variety of novel and previously uncharacterized antibiotic biosynthesis gene sequences, the products of which have the potential to be active as antibiotics, immunosuppressors, antitumor agents, etc.
    Type: Application
