Polyketide synthase genes from marine dinoflagellates

Polyketides are a highly diverse group of secondary metabolites, in terms of both structure and pharmacology, that share a common biogenic origin. The construction of the carbon framework is accomplished via the sequential Claisen condensations of acyl–coenzyme A (CoA) subunits.
