The present invention provides for a polyketide synthase s (PKS) capable of synthesizing an even-chain or odd-chain (51) Int. Cl. diacid or lactam or diamine. The present invention also pro CI2P 17/18 (2006.01) vides for a host cell comprising the PKS and when cultured CI2P 7/44 (2006.015 produces the even-chain diacid, odd-chain diacid, or KAPA. CI2P 7/46 (2006.01) The present invention also provides for a host cell comprising CI2PI3/00 (2006.015 the PKS capable of synthesizing a pimelic acid or KAPA, and CI2PI3/04 (2006.01) when cultured produces biotin.
