Abstract excerpt
The heterologous biosynthesis of complex natural products has enabled access to polyketide, nonribosomal peptide, isoprenoid, and other compounds with wide-spanning societal value. Though several surrogate host systems exist, Escherichia coli is often a preferred choice due to its rapid growth kinetics and extensive molecular biology protocols. However, a persistent challenge to the utilization of E. coli has...
