Alanylclavam biosynthetic genes are clustered together with one group of clavulanic acid biosynthetic genes in Streptomyces clavuligerus.
Streptomyces clavuligerus produces at least five different clavam metabolites, including clavulanic acid and the methionine antimetabolite, alanylclavam. In vitro transposon mutagenesis was used to analyze a 13-kb region upstream of the known paralogue gene cluster. The paralogue cluster includes one group of clavulanic acid biosynthetic genes in S. clavuligerus. Twelve open reading frames (ORF...

ISSN 1652-6880 ISBN 978-91-576-7318-3 The discovery of penicillin, a β-lactam antibiotic, changed the way humans thought about infectious disease. Unfortunately, the widespread use of antibiotics has lead to a concomitant increase in bacterial resistance t...
متن کاملFive additional genes are involved in clavulanic acid biosynthesis in Streptomyces clavuligerus.
An approximately 12.5-kbp region of DNA sequence from beyond the end of the previously described clavulanic acid gene cluster was analyzed and found to encode nine possible open reading frames (ORFs). Involvement of these ORFs in clavulanic acid biosynthesis was assessed by creating mutants with defects in each of the ORFs. orf12 and orf14 had been previously reported to be involved in clavulan...
متن کاملOverproduction of Clavulanic Acid by UV Mutagenesis of Streptomyces clavuligerus
Clavulanic acid is produced industrially by fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus and researches have increased its production by strain improvement, recombinant DNA technology, and media composition and growth condition optimization. The main objective of this study was to increase the level of clavulanic acid production from Streptomyces clavuligerus (DSM 738), using UV irradiation. After...
