Abstract
Novel methods and compositions are provided for the enhanced production of secondary metabolites. Methods are provided for identifying sequences which when transformed into secondary metabolite producing hosts, enhance the production of secondary metabolite. The process is exemplified for penicillin. In addition, the P. chrysogenum acyltransferase gene is isolated and sequenced.
