A Two-Step Mechanism for the Activation of Actinorhodin Export and Resistance in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptomyces coelicolor</named-content>

ABSTRACT Many microorganisms produce secondary metabolites that have antibiotic activity. To avoid self-inhibition, the producing cells often encode cognate export and/or resistance mechanisms in the biosynthetic gene clusters for these molecules. Actinorhodin is a blue-pigmented antibiotic produced...
