Genome mining unveils widespread natural product biosynthetic capacity in human oral microbe Streptococcus mutans

21 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans is a major pathogen causing human dental caries. As a Gram-positive bacterium with a small genome (about 2 Mb) it is considered a poor source of natural products. Due to a recent explosion in genomic data available for S. mutans strains, we were motivated to explore the natural product production potential of this organism. Bioinformatic characterization of 169 publically available genomes of...
