Feeding of synthetic precursors to a blocked mutant of 6-deoxyerythronoltde B synthase (DEBS) [1] led to production of novel 6-deoxyerythronolide B analogs in vivo containing additional non-natural oxygen substituents as well as additional reactive groups.

## Abstract Substitution of racemic diketide thioesters for optically pure compounds in precursor‐fed fermentations was investigated. These substrates were shown to be as effective as optically pure materials in diketide‐fed fermentation processes for producing analogs of 6‐deoxyerythronolide B. Ho
## Abstract Modular polyketide synthases such as 6‐deoxyerythronolide B synthase (DEBS) catalyze the biosynthesis of structurally complex natural products. __Streptomyces coelicolor__ CH999/pJRJ2 harbors a plasmid encoding DEBS(KS1^0^), a mutant form of 6‐deoxyerythronolide B synthase that is block
