Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

Overproduction of polyketides has been a challenge for metabolic engineering for decades. However, recent studies have demonstrated that in both native host and heterologous host, engineering β -oxidation pathways can lead to dramatic improvement of polyketide production.
