Abh, AbrB3, and Spo0A play distinct regulatory roles during polymyxin synthesis in Paenibacillus polymyxa SC2 [PDF]
Polymyxins exhibit antibacterial activity against various gram-negative bacteria. However, the regulatory mechanisms of polymyxin synthesis remain unclear. Here, Abh, AbrB3, and Spo0A of Paenibacillus polymyxa SC2 were found to bind to P pmx via DNA pull-
