Abstract
Nature produces an astonishing wealth of secondary metabolites with important biological functions. To access this diversity of structurally complex chemical compounds for industrial and biomedical applications, cells have been engineered to produce higher levels and/or novel compounds that were previously inaccessible. Recent examples of metabolic and combinatorial engineering illustrate different strategies for the production of secondary metabolites in microbial cells.Mesh:
