Antibiotic biosynthesis in Streptomyces species is controlled by a complex genetic and biochemical network of global and pathway specific regulators. Details of their precise interactions in mediating
Myxococcus xanthus is a gram-negative soil bacterium that produces the polyketide antibiotic TA. In this study, we describe the analysis of an M. xanthus gene which encodes a homologue of the prolipop
BackgroundUnderstanding how complex antibiotics are synthesised by their producer bacteria is essential for creation of new families of bioactive compounds. Thiomarinols, produced by marine bacteria b
