Polyketide derivatives , such as 1 , are obtained in enhanced yield from added benzoate by coexpressing in Saccharopolyspora erythraea a hybrid erythromycin–soraphen polyketide synthase (PKS) together with benzoate:CoA ligase from the enterocin‐producing ( enc ) pathway of a marine streptomycete. Remarkably, coexpression of the single gene encP encoding phenylalanine ammonia lyase is sufficient to produce the PKS primer benzoyl‐CoA in S. erythraea from endogenous L ‐phenylalanine without any need to supply precursors in the medium.
