Three elements came together during the past year to provide the opportunity to generate new polyketides. The first was the availability of cloned genes for several metabolic pathways; the second was a genetically defined host strain able to support the production of polyketides; and the third was t

Incorporations of sodium [1,2-13C2]acetate and sodium [l-13C,1802]acetate confirmed that murayaquinone, produced by Streptomyces murayamaensis, is a polyketide. However, the labeling patterns revealed that a simple folding of the decaketide intermediate does not lead directly to the final phenanthre
Recent literature on polyketide biosynthesis suggests that polyketide synthases have much greater diversity in both mechanism and structure than the current type I, II and III paradigms. These examples serve as an inspiration for searching novel polyketide synthases to give new insights into polyket
