Acyl coenzyme A: 6-aminopenicillanic acid acyltransferase from Penicillium chrysogenum and Aspergillus nidulans.

A study of the final stages of the biosynthesis of the penicillins in Penicillium chrysogenum has revealed two types of enzyme. One hydrolyses phenoxymethyl penicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). The other, also obtained from Aspergillus nidulans, transfers a phenylacetyl group from phenyla...
