Genomic Diversity of : Implications for Clavulanic Acid Biosynthesis and Industrial Hyperproduction.

is a species used worldwide to industrially produce clavulanic acid (CA), a molecule that enhances antibiotic effectiveness against β-lactamase-producing bacterial strains. Despite its low inherent CA production, hyper-producing strains have been developed. However, genomic analyses specific to and CA biosynthesis are limited.
