Refining genetic circuit design for enhanced type II polyketide biosynthesis in Escherichia coli

Polyketides represent a broad class of structurally diverse natural products with potent antibacterial and anticancer activities. Type II polyketide synthases (T2PKS) are multi-subunit complexes responsible for condensing acylated intermediates, including acetyl-CoA and malonyl-C...
