Cloning of the aureothricin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces thioluteus DSM 40027.
Identification of the aureothricin gene cluster by heterologous expression and in-frame gene deletion.
The heterogenetic thioesterase HlmK significantly improved dithiolopyrrolones production of the aureothricin gene cluster.
Identification of HlmK as an unusual type II thioesterase.
