Area of Science:

Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Sciences
Microbiology and Biochemistry

Background:

Natural products, particularly antibiotics, have significantly improved human health and quality of life.
Traditional natural product manufacturing relies on native cellular hosts, with established effective methodologies for access.

Purpose of the Study:

To review historic and emerging natural product bio-manufacturing strategies.
To compare native and heterologous biosynthesis systems and their implications for scaled production.
To introduce and evaluate cell-free production methods for complex natural products.

Main Methods:

Review of traditional natural product production using native cellular hosts.
Analysis of heterologous natural product biosynthesis in surrogate host systems.
Examination of cell-free biosynthesis approaches for complex natural product manufacturing.

Main Results:

Established methodologies for native host systems enable widespread natural product access.
Heterologous biosynthesis offers theoretical potential for advanced production.
Cell-free systems present novel approaches to overcome cellular production constraints.

Conclusions:

Natural product bio-manufacturing has evolved from native to heterologous and cell-free systems.
The choice of host organism and production strategy impacts scaled engineering and compound distribution.
Cell-free biosynthesis, including for complex molecules like erythromycin, represents a promising frontier in natural product production.
