The invention relates to the technical field of
biosynthesis, and particularly discloses a pyridone compound as well as a
biosynthesis method and application thereof. On the basis of related technologies of
synthetic biology, non-
ribosome peptide synthetase is modified, non-
ribosome peptide synthetase mutants are heterologously expressed in various hosts, a pyridone compound is found and obtained for the first time, the chemical molecular formula of the pyridone compound is determined to be C5H4N2O3, and the pyridone compound is named as 5-aminopyridine-2, 3, 6-
triketone or 5-hydroxy-3-iminopyridine-2, 3, 6-
triketone or 5-hydroxy-3-iminopyridine-2, 3, 6-
triketone or 5-hydroxy-3-iminopyridine-2, 3, 6-triketone. The novel pyridone compound can be used as a
raw material or an intermediate to be applied to development and preparation of novel
antibiotics, drugs and dyes.
