A highly active Burkholderia polyketoacyl-CoA thiolase for production of triacetic acid lactone
Nature CommunicationsTriacetic acid lactone (TAL) is a versatile platform chemical traditionally biosynthesized via decarboxylative Claisen condensation by 2-pyrone synthase. However, this route is limited by poor efficiency and dependence on malonyl-CoA.
