Reconstitution of a mini‐gene cluster combined with ribosome engineering led to effective enhancement of salinomycin production in Streptomyces albus

Summary Salinomycin, an FDA‐approved polyketide drug, was recently identified as a promising anti‐tumour and anti‐viral lead compound. It is produced by Streptomyces albus, and the biosynthetic gene cluster (sal) spans over 100 kb. The genetic manipulation of large polyketide gene clusters is challe...
