✦ Synopsis
A Streptomyces galilaeus mutant carrying genes transfered from S. purpurascens is reported to produce two hybrid anthracyclines. This study demonstrates the possibility of producing hybrid anthracyclines in a combinatorial way by genetic engineering of anthracycline producing strains.

Aklanonic acid is an anthracyclinone-related pigment that was found to be an intermediate a t an early stage of the biosynthesis of daunomycinone glycosides by Streptomyces griseus. We now isolated anthracycline-negative mutants of other Streptomyces species and used them in feeding experiments with
Cobalt ions synergistically supported the inducing effect of A-factor 1a on the formation of aerial mycelium and anthracyclines by the blocked S. griseus mutant 86. This suggested an involvement of effector 1a in the transport or metabolism of this trace element. In accordance with the proposed role
