The biosynthesis of kitasamycin in Streptomyces kitasatoensis B-896 was profoundly influenced by the addition of precursors to complex and defined media: l-valine and l-leucine directed biosynthesis towards the pairs A(4)/A(5) (R(2) = butyryl) and A(1)/A(3) (R(2) = isovaleryl), respectively, and total kitasamycin titers were doubled and quadrupled, respectively. S. kitasatoensis B-896 was very resistant (&gt;20 mg/ml) to alpha-aminobutyric acid, an analog of l-valine, but very susceptible to l-leucine analogs 5', 5', 5'-trifluoroleucine and 4-azaleucine (5 to 10 mug/ml). The inhibition by 4-azaleucine could be reversed by l-leucine, but by none of the other amino acids of the pyruvate family or the amino acids of the aspartate pathway. 4-Azaleucine-resistant mutants were isolated which in the absence of any precursors overproduced l-leucine and a kitasamycin complex mainly consisting of the pair A(1)/A(3). These 4-azaleucine-resistant mutants are presumed to be regulatory mutants in which alpha-isopropylmalate synthase, the first enzyme of the l-leucine pathway, has become either derepressed or desensitized to leucine feedback inhibition. l-Leucine-regulatory mutants have economic value: in the absence of expensive precursors, they produce a kitasamycin complex in which the most potent pair A(1)/A(3) is dominant and the least active components are absent.
