An L-threonine transaldolase is required for L-threo-β-hydroxy-α-amino acid assembly during obafluorin biosynthesis

Obafluorin is a β-lactone antibiotic produced byPseudomonas fluorescens. Here the authors present the biosynthetic gene cluster and biosynthetic pathway of obafluorin, which is characterized by a central transaldolase step catalysed by a rare L-threonine transaldolase.
