Bacterial type III polyketide synthases : phylogenetic analysis and potential for the production of novel secondary metabolites by heterologous expression in pseudomonads

Type III polyketide synthases (PKS) were regarded as typical for plant secondary metabolism before they were found in microorganisms recently. Due to microbial genome sequencing efforts, more and more type III PKS are found, most of which of unknown function. In this manuscript, we report a comprehe...
