Phages weaponize their bacteria with biosynthetic gene clusters

2020-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Bacteria produce many different specialized metabolites, which are encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Despite high industrial relevance owing to broad bioactive potential of these metabolites, their ecological roles remain largely unexplored. We analyze all available genomes for BGCs of phage origin. The BGCs predominantly reside within temperate phages infecting certain commensal and...
