Feasible modes of introducing the nitro group into pyrrolomycin antibiotics were investigated based on incorporation of (15)N-labeled arginine and proline into dioxapyrrolomycin, produced by the actinomycete culture LL-F42248. Biosynthesis of nitrated pyrrolomycins was unaffected by the presence of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors. The culture was able to grow in nitrogen-free (minimal) media and produce nitrated secondary metabolites. These results indicate that LL-F42248 is capable of fixing nitrogen.
