  • Patent number: 10900056
    Abstract: A method for producing an octaketide derived aromatic compound of interest (e.g. carminic acid), wherein the method comprises (I): heterologous expression of a recombinantly introduced Type III polyketide synthase (PKS) gene encoding an octaketide synthase (OKS) to obtain non-reduced octaketide in vivo within the recombinant host cell and (II): converting in vivo the non-reduced octaketide of step (I) into a C14-C34 aromatic compound of interest (e.g. carminic acid).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignees: Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, Københavns Universitet
