Abstract excerpt
Sequence-guided mining of metagenomic libraries provides a means of recovering specific natural product gene clusters of interest from the environment. In this study, we use ketosynthase gene (KS) PCR amplicon sequences (sequence tags) to explore the structural and biosynthetic diversities of pentangular polyphenols (PP). In phylogenetic analyses, eDNA-derived sequence tags often fall between closely related...
