title: On the role of 26-deoxylaidlomycin in laidlomycin biosynthesis.
abstract: 3H-26-deoxylaidlomycin (I) was fed to growing cultures of Streptoverticillium olivoreticuli IMET 43782 producing both I and laidlomycin (II). The incorporation of labelled I into laidlomycin II was neglible showing a role of I as precursor of II to be at variance. Otherwise, a measurable conversion was achieved by the use of sonicated 48 hrs mycelium suggesting that final oxidation of I to II could be mediated by a compartmentized oxidoreductase.
