Environ Microbiol 6 (2004) 921-927. A method was developed to target from metagenomic samples the family of polyketide synthases that use trans-acting ATs. By using this approach, two pederin-type polyketide synthase systems were identified.

The cyclopropyl functionality of coronatine was shown to originate by the tandem action of two enzymes: a halogenase CmaB that introduces chlorine, and a previously unknown enzyme CmaC that forms the cyclopropyl ring with concomitant release of the chlorine.
