Abstract
We have cloned and sequenced apoprotein genes for chromoprotein antibiotics; neocarzinostatin, macromomycin, actinoxanthin and C-1027. Here we show the homology between these genes in comparison with that between genomes of the corresponding antibiotic producers, evaluate the classical taxonomy based on phenotypic features of producer strains, and discuss the origin of the apoprotein genes.
