USE OF TYPE I AND TYPE II POLYKETIDE SYNTHASES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CANNABINOIDS AND CANNABINOID ANALOGS
The present invention relates generally to production methods, enzymes and recombinant yeast strains for the biosynthesis of clinically important prenylated polyketides of the cannabinoid family. Using readily available starting materials, heterologous enzymes are used to direct cannabinoid biosynthesis in yeast.
