The Pyralomicin Biosynthetic Gene Cluster

 and its Potential Use

 

Reference ID:  OSU-06-46

Inventors:  Dr. Taifo Mahmud and Dr. Patricia M. Flatt

Description:   This invention relates to antibiotic biosythesis genes from the soill actinomycete, in particular to a pyralomycin gene cluster and the characterization of the individual genes in the gene cluster and the proteins.  The invention holds incredible potential to develop the novel aminocyclitol and halogenases from pyralomicin biosynthetic gene cluster as tools in drug development.

Applications:    Biotechnology

                         Pharmaceutical drug development

                          Infectious Diseases
