Species of bacterium
Streptomyces cattleya is a Gram-positive bacterium which makes cephamycin ,[ 1] penicillin and thienamycin .[ 2] [ 3] The bacterium expresses a fluorinase enzyme,[ 4] and the organism has been used to understand the biosynthesis of fluoroacetate and the antibacterial 4-fluoro-L-threonine .[ 5] [ 6] The γ-Glu-βes pathway to biosynthesis of non-traditional amino acids β-ethynylserine (βes) and L-propargylglycine (Pra) was first characterized in this species.[ 7]
The genome, which was sequenced in 2011, contains one chromosome with 6,283,062 base pairs and one megaplasmid with 1,809,491 bp, with an overall guanine-cytosine content of 73%.[ 8]
