Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacteria synthesize several types of bioactive secondary metabolites. Anabaena strain 90 produces three types of bioactive peptides, microcystins (inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A), anabaenopeptilides, and anabaenopeptins (serine protease inhibitors). To investigate the role of the anabaenopeptilides in Anabaena, wild-type strain 90 (WT) and its anabaenopeptilide deficient mutant (MU) were...
