The last step at last . The isolation and structure elucidation of the novel premithramycin‐type compound 3A‐deolivosylpremithramycin B ( 1 ) allowed cross‐feeding experiments with this compound to two glycosyltransferase‐minus mutants of the mithramycin producer S. argillaceus ; this has solved the sequence of the last glycosylation steps of mithramycin biosynthesis.
