Application of ¹³C-NMR to the Biosynthetic Investigations. II. Biosynthesis of Aureothin and Related Nitro-containing Metabolites of Streptomyces luteoreticuli

Abstract

The participation of acetate and propionate to the biosynthesis of aureothin, one of the metabolites of Streptomyces thioluteus and S. luteoreticuli containing an aryl-nitro group has been proved by the use of ¹³C tracer technique and ¹³C-NMR spectrometry.
