Nucleic acid molecules encoding modified polyketide synthases containing polylinkers and uses thereof

摘要

Nucleic acid molecules encoding at least part of a Type I polyketide synthase, and having a polylinker with multiple restriction enzyme sites in place of one or more PKS genes encoding enzymes associated with reduction, optionally further including nucleic acid incorporated into the polylinker, the further nucleic acid encoding one or more reductive enzymes; plasmids incorporating such nucleic acids; host cells transfected with such plasmids; methods relating thereto.
