Metabolism of Progesterone by Streptomyces griseus.

Oxidation of Meloxicam by Streptomyces griseus

The aim of the present investigation was to biotransform the anti-inflammatory compound meloxicam by enzymes present in whole cells of five actinomycete cultures to produce novel bioactive derivatives. Among the actinomycetes screened, Streptomyces griseus NCIM 2622 was found to possess the enzyme system(s) that oxidize meloxicam into two metabolites whereas that present in S. griseus NCIM 2623...

Regulation of trehalose metabolism by Streptomyces griseus spores.

Spores of Streptomyces griseus contain trehalose and trehalase, but trehalose is not readily hydrolyzed until spore germination is initiated. Trehalase in crude extracts of spores, germinated spores, and mycelia of S. griseus had a pH optimum of approximately 6.2, had a Km value for trehalose of approximately 11 mM, and was most active in buffers having ionic strengths of 50 to 200 mM. Inhibito...

Biogenesis of chromomycin A3 by Streptomyces griseus.

The biosynthesis of chromomycin A3 was investigated using 13C-labeled acetates, methionine and glucose, and 13C,18O-labeled acetate. 13C NMR spectral analysis demonstrated that: Aglycone assembly occurs by combining at least two polyketide chains; three of nine oxygen atoms of the aglycone originate from acetate precursor oxygen atoms; carbon methylations on the aromatic ring at C-7, on the chr...
