Isolation of mutants blocked in calicheamicin biosynthesis.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Blocked mutants of Micromonospora echinospora defective in the production of the potent antitumor agent calicheamicin are described. Analysis of intermediates produced by blocked mutants indicates a branched biosynthetic pathway. Mutants that produced some, but not all, calicheamicin forms are also described.
