Novel expression hosts for complex secondary metabolite megasynthetases: Production of myxochromide in the thermopilic isolate <it>Corallococcus macrosporus </it>GT-2

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Although many secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities have been isolated from myxobacteria, most strains of these biotechnologically important gliding prokaryotes remain difficult to handle genetically. In this study we describe the new fast grow...
