00253 Tetracycline biosynthesis
Metabolism; Metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides

Tetracyclines are aromatic polyketide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces species via type II polyketide synthases (PKSs). Tetracyclines contain a linear tetracyclic skeleton, which is formed from a malonamate starter unit and malonyl-CoA extender units through a common polyketide pathway [MD:M00778]. This diagram shows biosynthesis of naturally occurring tetracyclines (tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline) via a common intermediate anhydrotetracycline [MD:M00780 M00823].
