Abstract
The present invention relates to a polymyxin synthetase isolated from Gram-positive Paenibacillus sp. and a gene cluster encoding the same, more precisely a polymyxin synthetase isolated from Paenibacillus polymyxa E681, a gene cluster encoding thereof and a preparation method of polymyxin or its derivatives using the gene cluster. The polymyxin synthetase of the present invention can be effectively used for the increase of productivity of polymyxin and the development of a novel antibiotic.
