Streptomyces clavuligerus produces Cephamycin C and Clavulanic acid concomitantly.
In this paper was evaluated concomitant production of these two bioactives by FBA.
Lysine is a Cephamycin C precursor.
Lysine combined with maltose favored Clavulanic acid production.
It was possible to propose a mechanism for this behavior by means of flux analysis.
