Abstract
A method for the production of a polyketide by fermentation comprising the steps of growing a culture of a polyketide-producing organism at a pH value conducive to cell growth for a time sufficient to generate the producing culture, lowering the pH of the culture to a value conducive to polyketide product stability, continuing the fermentation until a maximal titer of polyketide is achieved, and optionally extracting the polyketide from the culture.
