Biosynthesis of fosfomycin, PTT, and dehydrophos. a,
chemical structures of fosfomycin, PTT, and dehydrophos. b, the first
three conversion steps catalyzed by PEP mutase, PnPy decarboxylase, and ADH.
c, partial gene clusters of fosfomycin, PTT, and dehydrophos. Genes
fom1, ppm, and dhpE encode for PEP mutase; fom2,
ppd, and dhpF encode for PnPy decarboxylase; fomC, phpC
and dhpG encode for ADH; and other encoded enzymes and the complete
clusters were described elsewhere
(12,
13).
