Abstract excerpt
A method was developed for the large-scale bioconversion of novel 6-deoxyerythronolide B (6-dEB) analogs into erythromycin analogs. Erythromycin biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora erythraea proceeds via the formation of a polyketide aglycone, 6-dEB, which is subsequently glycosylated, hydroxylated and methylated to yield the antibiotic erythromycin A. A modular polyketide synthase (PKS) directs 6-dEB synthesis...
