- Type I processive/modular includes erythromycin (S. erythraea) which is an antibiotic, rifamycin, and rapamycin (immunosuppresent, anti cancer).
- Type I iterative includes lovastatin, which is an anti-cholesterol agent.

Polyketides are secondary metabolites produced by multidomainal subunits that serve as antibiotics, anti-cholesterol drugs, virulence factors, and immunosuppresants (anti-cancer). They possess diverse structure and function.
