The indanomycin biosynthetic gene (idm) cluster was recently identified from Streptomyces antibioticus NRRL 8167. The disruption of one of these genes, idmH, and the increased production of a previously unreported metabolite In this mutant Is reported. The structure of this compound was elucidated and was shown to possess a linear tetraene. This metabolite is not a logical biosynthetic intermediate of indanomycin but instead Is likely an alternate product of the pathway.
