A multiple-plasmid system for heterologous expression of polyketides facilitates combinatorial biosynthesis. The method can be extended to any modular polyketide synthase (PKS) or non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) and has the potential to produce thousands of novel natural products, including ones derived from further modification of the PKS or NRPS products by tailoring enzymes.
