Small molecule secondary metabolites produced by organisms such as plants, bacteria, and
fungi form a fascinating and important group of natural products, many of which have shown …

Covering: 1999 up to 2021 Fungal polyketides encompass a range of structurally diverse
molecules with a wide variety of biological activities. The giant multifunctional enzymes that …

Polyketides represent an important class of biologically active and structurally diverse
compounds in nature. They are synthesized from acyl‐coenzyme A substrates by polyketide …

Fungi produce a wide variety of biologically active compounds. Among these, the
polyketides form a large and structurally diverse group. These compounds are synthesised …

The iterative type I polyketide synthases (IPKSs) are central to the biosynthesis of an
enormously diverse array of natural products in fungi. These natural products, known as …

Covering: 2005 to 2014 This article covers the literature on fungal type III polyketide
synthases (PKSs) published from 2005 to 2014. Since the first discovery of fungal type III …

Polyketide synthases are the main biochemical machinery for the production of a structurally
