Abstract
Abstract Novel polyketides and novel methods of efficiently producing both new and known polyketides, using recombinant technology, are disclosed. In particular, a novel host-vector system is described which is used to produce polyketide synthases which in turn catalyze the production of a variety of polyketides.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A library for synthesis of a multiplicity of polyketides which library comprises a multiplicity of individual cell lines wherein each cell line produces a functional polyketide synthase (PKS) such that each said cell line produces a different polyketide; wherein each functional PKS comprises the products of: a first open reading frame (ORF) encoding a ketosynthase/acyltransferase (KS/AT); a second ORF encoding an acyl carrier protein (ACP); and a third ORF encoding a chain length determining factor (CLDF); wherein the ORFs in said library are derived from at least three different aromatic PKS.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A library for synthesis of a multiplicity of polyketides which library comprises a multiplicity of individual cell lines wherein each cell line produces a functional polyketide synthase (PKS) such that each said cell line produces a different polyketide; wherein each functional PKS comprises the products of: a first open reading frame (ORF) encoding a ketosynthase/acyltransferase (KS/AT); a second ORF encoding an acyl carrier protein (ACP); and a third ORF encoding a chain length determining factor (CLDF); wherein the ORFs in said library are derived from at least three different aromatic PKS.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The library of claim 1 wherein at least some of said multiplicity of cell lines further include an ORF encoding a polyketide cyclase (CYC); and/or an ORF encoding polyketide aromatase (ARO); and/or an ORF encoding a polyketide ketoreductase (KR).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
The library of claim 1 which includes colonies wherein the functional PKS comprises the product of at least one of: ______________________________________
ORF1 ORF2 ORF3
(KS/AT) (CLDF) (ACP)

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The library of claim 1 wherein said cell line further comprises an enzyme that is active on a PKS and is selected from the group consisting of an O-methyl transferase and glycosyl transferase.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The library of claim 1 wherein in at least one member of said library each said open reading frame is contained in a separate expression cassette.
