Combining genome mining and heterologous expression in a genetically tractable host can lead to bioactive natural products discovery and production. Here, the authors employ this strategy for new decalin-containing diterpenoid pyrenes production by expressing native, extended, and shunt pathways in Aspergillus oryzae.
