Abstract

ITALIC! Aeromicrobium erythreumNRRL B-3381 has a 3,629,239-bp circular genome that has 72% G+C content. There are at least 3,121 coding sequences (CDSs), two rRNA gene operons, and 47 tRNAs. The genome and erythromycin ( ITALIC! ery) biosynthetic gene sequences provide resources for metabolic and combinatorial engineering of polyketides.
