Isolation of two novel intracellular β-lactams and a novel dioxygenase cyclising enzyme from Streptomyces clavuligerus
Abstract
Two novel β-lactams, one monocyclic, the other bicyclic, and a dioxygenase enzyme which converts the former to the latter, have been isolated from the mycelium of the clavulanic acid producing organism Streptomyces clavuligerus ATCC 27064.
