Abstract
Drugs from bugs. We have successfully expanded the scope of our E. coli-based total biosynthesis of natural products and their analogues by rationally engineering the echinomycin biosynthesis pathway for the production of a synthetic analogue of triostin A, TANDEM; this demonstrates the amenability of the biosynthesis enzymes and E. coli towards further engineering.
