title: A study of the biosynthesis of the tripeptide delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine in a beta-lactam-negative mutant of Cephalosporium acremonium.
abstract: A cell-free extract of Cephalosporium acremonium (Takeda N-2) was obtained that synthesized the tripeptide delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine and also the dipeptide delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteine from the corresponding L-amino acids.
