Identification and cloning of a type III polyketide synthase required for diffusible pigment biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora erythraea

Abstract
The soluble, diffusible red‐brown pigment produced by a Saccharopolyspora erythraea‘red variant’ has been shown to contain glycosylated and polymerized derivatives of 2,5,7‐trihydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoqui...
