Abstract excerpt
Polyketides represent a class of natural product small molecules with an impressive range of medicinal activities. In order to improve access to therapeutic polyketide compounds, heterologous metabolic engineering has been applied to transfer polyketide genetic pathways from often fastidious native hosts to more industrially-amenable heterologous hosts such as Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or...
