“…The Streptomyces genome usually contains more than 20 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), including polyketide synthase (PKS), nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), terpenes and lanthipepteptides (Ikeda et al, 2003). Those secondary metabolite BGCs share complex metabolic and regulatory networks such as metabolic competition, transcriptional coregulation, cross‐regulation, and post‐modification enzyme sharing (Culp et al, 2019; Liu et al, 2013; Lu et al, 2016; Niu et al, 2016; Yang et al, 2017). Deleting PKS/PKS‐NRPS gene clusters improved intracellular concentrations of shared precursor malonyl‐CoA and methylmalonyl‐CoA (Lu et al, 2016), but deleting precursor shared BGCs does not always result in titer improvement and blocking the biosynthesis of nanchangmycin showed an insignificant effect on the production enhancement of meilingmycin in Streptomyces nanchangensis (Sun et al, 2002).…”
