Epsilon-poly-L-lysine (epsilon-PL) is produced by Streptomyces albulus NBRC14147 as a secondary metabolite and can be detected only when the fermentation broth has an acidic pH during the stationary growth phase. Since strain NBRC14147 produces epsilon-PL-degrading enzymes, the original chain length of the epsilon-PL polymer product synthesized by epsilon-PL synthetase (Pls) is unclear. Here, we report on the identification of the gene encoding the epsilon-PL-degrading enzyme (PldII), which play ...[more]
