Title Characterization of the bafilomycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces lohii.
Journal Chembiochem
Abstract New hope for old bones: The plecomacrolide bafilomycin has been explored for decades as an anti-osteoporotic. However, its structural complexity has limited the synthesis of analogues. The cloning of the bafilomycin biosynthetic gene cluster from the environmental isolate Streptomyces lohii opens the door to the production of new analogues through bioengineering.
