Combinatorial biosynthesis plays a growing role of drug discovery and development in the fields of biology, chemistry and medical sciences. Erythromycin, as the model molecule, has long been appreciated for the investigations into the biosynthesis of natural products and their associated structural diversity by pathway engineering. In this paper the progress regarding erythromycin in biosynthesis and combinatorial biosynthesis is reviewed. The problems and application prospects are also discussed.

Key words: erythromycin, biosynthesis, combinatorial biosynthesis
