Rational engineering of Streptomyces albus J1074 for the overexpression of secondary metabolite gene clusters

Abstract Background Genome sequencing revealed that Streptomyces sp. can dedicate up to ~ 10% of their genomes for the biosynthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites. However, the majority of these biosynthetic gene clusters are only weakly expressed or not at all. Indeed, the biosynthesis of natur...
