Abstract

ABSTRACT The asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase-like SlgZ and methyltransferase SlgM enzymes are involved in the biosynthesis of the tetramic acid streptolydigin in Streptomyces lydicus . Inactivation of slgZ led to a novel streptolydigin derivative. Overexpression of slgZ , slgM , or both in S. lydicus led to a considerable increase in streptolydigin production.
