## Abstract **Mg motors**: We characterized the in vitro function of MycE and MycF, two __O__‐methyltransferases involved in the biosynthesis of mycinamicin antibiotics. Each enzyme was confirmed to be an __S__‐adenosyl‐L‐methionine (SAM)‐dependent deoxysugar methyltransferase. Their optimal activi
## Summary A mutant of __Saccharomyces cerevisiae__ deleted for the __COQ3__ gene was constructed. __COQ3__ encodes a 3,4‐dihydroxy‐5‐hexaprenylbenzoate (DHHB) methyltransferase that catalyses the fourth step in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone from __p__‐hydroxybenzoic acid. A full length cDNA encod
The gene cluster (ery) responsible for production of the macrolide antibiotic erythromycin by Saccharopolyspora erythraea is also known to contain ermE, the gene conferring resistance to the antibiotic. The nucleotide sequence has been determined of a 4.5 kb portion of the biosynthetic gene cluster,
Three cellulose-negative (Cel-) mutants of Acetobacter xylinum strain ATCC 23768 were complemented by a cloned 2.8 kb DNA fragment from the wild type. Biochemical analysis of the mutants showed that they were deficient in the enzyme uridine 5'-diphosphoglucose (UDPG) pyrophosphorylase. The analysis
