Zusammenfassung:Described are a genetically modified microorganism and corresponding methods and products. The genetically modified microorganism may include a first gene that encodes an acyl transferase and a second gene that encodes a peptide or protein. One or both of the first and second gene may be heterologous. The genetically modified microorganism may include a modified acyl-CoA biosynthetic pathway configured for one or more of: inducible biosynthesis of an acyl-CoA and over-accumulation of the acyl-CoA. The genetically modified microorganism may be effective upon fermentation to cause acylation of the peptide or protein by the acyl transferase using the acyl-CoA to provide a N-acylated peptide or protein product.
