Abstract

Recombinant Escherichia coli host cells that comprise recombinant DNA expression vectors that drive expression of methylmalonyl CoA mutase from Propionibacterium shermanii or Streptomyces cinnamonensis as well as Propionibacterium shermanii epimerase can produce S-methylmalonyl CoA, a required substrate for the production of polyketides by most modular polyketide synthases not present in wild-type E. coli host cells.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for converting (R)-methylmalonyl CoA to (S)-methylmalonyl CoA in a host cell, the method comprising culturing the host cell of claim  22  under conditions such that
 said epimerase is expressed, and (R)-methylmalonyl CoA is converted into (S)-methylmalonyl CoA.
