Key result
The tcm biosynthetic and resistance genes occur as a single cluster in the S. glaucescens genome and are expressed in heterologous streptomycete hosts, resulting in the overproduction of pigmented intermediates.
Population
Streptomyces glaucescens and Streptomyces lividans (bacterial models)

Enables heterologous overproduction of tetracenomycin intermediates in streptomycetes; leaves open scalability and therapeutic translation.
The study successfully cloned and expressed the gene cluster for tetracenomycin C biosynthesis in a heterologous host.
Motamedi et al. (1987) studied this question. Gene cloning and heterologous expression of tcm gene cluster was evaluated on Complementation of tcm mutations and production of tetracenomycin C intermediates. The tcm biosynthetic and resistance genes occur as a single cluster in the S. glaucescens genome and are expressed in heterologous streptomycete hosts, resulting in the overproduction of pigmented intermediates.
