ABSTRACT:
The present invention refers in particular to the structural gene sequence of the peptide antibiotic mersacidin. Sequencing revealed that premersacidin consists of an unusually long 48 amino acid leader sequence and a 20 amino acid propeptide part (Seq. ID No:1) which is modified during biosynthesis to the mature lantibiotic.
