Abstract

Spinosyns A and D are novel macrolide secondary metabolites containing two deoxysugars. Each of the sugars is derived from a common intermediate, which is biosynthesized sequentially by NDP-glucose synthase and glucose dehydratase. Systematical duplication of gtt</i> and gdh</i> was carried out by genetic engineering in Saccharopolyspora spinosa</i>. Introduction of additional gtt</i> and gdh</i> genes under the control of PermE</i>* promoter showed significant increase on their transcript levels. The production of spinosad was increased by over threefold to reach 800 g/ml in the recombinant strain SIPI-M2093.
