Functions of the pnbA, Aacl and mevalonate pathway genes introduced into E. coli and the relevant upstream metabolic pathway from glucose and ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) to farnesyl diphosphate (FPP). Gene names are written only for genes introduced into E. coli. hmgs, HMG-CoA synthase; hmgr, HMG-CoA reductase.
