Overexpression of PKS17 in DS68530 and 4xKO-B. (A) Schema showing the strategy used for integrating the IPNS promoter in front of Pc21g16000. (B) The initial molecule produced by PKS17 is the naphthopyrone YWA1, which was quantified by LC-MS in fermentation broth of the indicated strains after 3 and 5 days. (C) Expression of Pc21g16000 quantified by means of qPCR on day 3 of growth in SMP. The gene is not expressed in DS68530 and 4xKO-B and expression when replacing the promoter is unchanged between DS68530-PKS17-OE and 4KO-B-PKS17-OE, as seen by the difference in the similar Δct.
