Evidence for recombination in the microcystin synthetase (mcy) genes of toxic cyanobacteria Microcystis spp.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jun 2004

Tanabe Yuuhiko, Kaya Kunimitsu, Watanabe Makoto M

Abstract excerpt

Recombination has been suggested to be an important factor for the genetic variation of bacterial genes, but few studies have dealt with intragenic recombination between the same or closely related species of cyanobacteria. Here we provide strong evidence for recombination in the microcystin synthetase (mcy) gene cluster of the toxic cyanobacteria Microcystis spp. This gene cluster contains 10 genes (mcyA to J)...
