Biotransformation of a biosynthetic intermediate mimic of nonactin by Streptomyces griseus
摘要:
A mimic of a plausible biosynthetic intermediate of bishomononactic acid, one of the monomers of macrotetrolide antibiotics (polynactin), was synthesized as a thiol ester. FAB-MS analysis showed that fermentation of polynactin producing Streptomyces griseus with the compound, afforded the unnatural polynactins containing bishomononactic acid(s).
