Characterization and expression of nuclear-encoded polyketide synthases in the brevetoxin-producing dinoflagellate karenia brevis

2010-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (C. C. Davis) Gert Hansen et Moestrup produces a suite of brevetoxins, potent neurotoxins that have adverse effects on marine animal and human health. Brevetoxins are polyketides proposed to be synthesized by polyketide synthases (PKSs), and genes for type I PKSs have been predicted by PCR and transcript analysis. However, the full-length transcripts in K. brevis predict an unusua...
