3 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Polyketides are one of the largest and most structurally diverse classes of naturally occurring compounds, ranging from simple aromatic metabolites to complex macrocyclic lactones. Fungi and filamentous bacteria, particularly the actinomycetes, are major sources of polycyclic aromatic structures, which include many clinically important antibiotics and other useful metabolites. These fused-ring polyketides are...
