  • Genes and proteins for the biosynthesis of polyketides
    Publication number: 20030171562
    Abstract: Genes and proteins involved in the biosynthesis of polyketides by microorganisms, including the genes and proteins forming the biosynthetic loci for the polyketide dorrigocin from Streptomyces platensis subsp. rosaceus and the polyketide lactimidomycin from Streptomyces amphibiosporus. The genes and proteins allow direct manipulation of dorrigocin, lactimidomycin and related chemical structures via chemical engineering of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of dorrigocin and lactimidomycin.
    Type: Application

  • Genes and proteins for the biosynthesis of rosaramicin
    Publication number: 20030113874
    Abstract: Genes and proteins involved in the biosynthesis of macrolides by microorganisms, in particular the nucleic acids forming the biosynthetic locus for the 16-member macrolide rosaramicin from Micromonospora carbonacea. These nucleic acids can be used to make expression constructs and transformed host cells for the production of rosaramicin. The genes and proteins allow direct manipulation of macrolides and related chemical structures via chemical engineering of the proteins involved in the biosynthesis of rosaramicin.
