Molecular biological studies on the genes of Pseudomonas fluorescens NC1B10586 which encode biosynthesis of the polyketide antibiotic mupirocin

This study describes the organisation and characterisation of the genes involved in the polyketide antibiotic pseudomonic acid (mupirocin) biosynthesis by Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIB10586. Suicide vector and PCR strategies were used to isolate and clone chromosomal DNA segments flanking a 17.1 kb f...
