Engineering of leucine-responsive regulatory protein improves spiramycin and bitespiramycin biosynthesis

Abstract Background Bitespiramycin (BT) is produced by recombinant spiramycin (SP) producing strain Streptomyces spiramyceticus harboring a heterologous 4″-O-isovaleryltransferase gene (ist). Exogenous l-Leucine (l-Leu) could improve the production of BT. The orf2 gene found from the genomic sequenc...
