Abstract excerpt
Many bacterial and fungal secondary metabolites are produced by polyketide synthases (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). Recently, it has been discovered that these modular enzymatic systems can also closely cooperate to form natural products. The analysis of the corresponding biosynthetic machineries, in the form of hybrid systems, is of special interest for combinatorial biosynthesis, because...
