Abstract

Novel Sorangium polyketide synthases, and domains thereof, and polynucleotides encoding therefor. Additionally, chimeric polyketide synthases that include domains, or subsets of domains, patterned on said novel polyketide synthases. Methods to prepare polyketide combinatorial libraries are described, as are recombinant host cells in which polyketides are produced.
