    摘要: The present invention relates to recombinant cyanobacterial cells for the production of a chemical compound of interest. In particular, the present invention relates to genetic modifications that introduce one or more heterologous phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) into a cyanobacterial cell. These cells can, optionally, further comprise heterologous carrier protein and nucleic acid constructs that provide the cyanobacterial cells with the capability of producing chemicals of interest or compounds of interest, such secondary metabolites polyketides, nonribosomal peptides and their hybrids, the three major families of bioactive natural products, of cyanobacteria and other bacterial phyla, secondary metabolites analogs, and unnatural compounds.

    摘要: Thaxtomins are phytotoxic secondary metabolites produced in plant pathogenic Streptomyces strains and have received considerable interests as bioherbicides. A cell-free, biocombinatorial approach was developed to produce a thaxtomin library for herbicide development. Combination of biosynthetic enzymes led to the production of 136 substituted 2,5-diketopiperazines, thaxtomin D, thaxtomin B and thaxtomin A analogs in a single pot. Furthermore, rational engineering of TxtA allowed the synthesis of azido-containing thaxtomin analog. Selected unnatural thaxtomins demonstrated improved herbicidal activities.
