Research Paper: Myxococcus xanthus as Host for the Production of Benzoxazoles
benzoxazoles featuring a 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) building block. Subsequent in vitro studies confirmed that this crosstalk is not only due to the availability of 2,3-DHBA in M. xanthus , rather [...] important structural motifs in pharmaceutical drugs. Here, we present the heterologous production of 3-hydroxyanthranilate-derived benzoxazoles in the host bacterium Myxococcus xanthus following the expression …
