An operon consisting of three open reading frames, annotated in silico as methylmalonyl-CoA (mm-CoA) epimerase, mm-CoA mutase (MCM), and meaB, was identified in the sequencing project of the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum So ce56. This putative MCM pathway operon was subcloned from a bacterial artificial chromosome by Red/ET recombineering onto a minimal replicon derived from p15A. This plasmid was modified for integration and heterologous expression in Pseudomonas putida to enable the production of complex secondary metabolites requiring mm-CoA as precursor. Methylmalonate was identified in the recombinant P. putida strain by an analysis method based on gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The engineered strain is able to synthesize polyketides requiring mm-CoA as an extender unit, which was demonstrated by the production of myxothiazol after integration of the biosynthetic gene cluster into the chromosome, followed by induction of expression.
