RESUMO

A gene encoding the macrolide modification enzyme 3-O-acyltransferase (acyA) was cloned by chromosome walking onto the carbomycin biosynthetic region in Streptomyces thermotolerans TH475, with the 3' region of the gene encoding the macrolide modification enzyme 4"-O-acyltransferase (acyB1) as a probe. A shortened fragment (1.8 kb) containing acyA was subcloned with pIJ350. A high-level tylosin producer, Streptomyces fradiae MBBF, transformed with the plasmid could produce a hybrid macrolide, 3-O-acetyltylosin, most efficiently.
