Convergent evolution of [D-Leucine1] microcystin-LR in taxonomically disparate cyanobacteria

19 Apr 2013

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Many important toxins and antibiotics are produced by non-ribosomal biosynthetic pathways. Microcystins are a chemically diverse family of potent peptide toxins and the end-products of a hybrid NRPS and PKS secondary metabolic pathway. They are produced by a variety of cyanobacteria and are responsible for the poisoning of humans as well as the deaths of wild and domestic animals around the world. The...
