Prediction and characterization of small non-coding RNAs related to secondary metabolites in Saccharopolyspora erythraea.

Saccharopolyspora erythraea produces a large number of secondary metabolites with biological activities, including erythromycin. Elucidation of the mechanisms through which the production of these secondary metabolites is regulated may help to identify new strategies for improved biosynthesis of ery...
