The objective of this study was to enhance the production of monensin and its derivatives in Streptomyces sp. ATCC 15413. To this end the contributions of medium composition and enzyme engineering on polyketide biosynthesis were assessed. Enzyme engineering was implemented through a single-point mutation in KS5 of the polyketide synthase (PKS). This mutation increased premonensin productivity up to 29-fold, revealing and alleviating a rate-limiting step in the multi-enzyme biosynthetic pathway. Medium optimization proved comparably effective, raising titers by at least an order of magnitude across strains. Moreover, medium optimization and ketosynthase mutagenesis acted additively in the premonensin strain, further boosting its production. Overall, our findings show that medium optimization is the dominant factor in maximizing monensin yields, while enzyme engineering can deliver targeted benefits in specific contexts.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
