Automated genome mining predicts structural diversity and taxonomic distribution of peptide metallophores across bacteria

2025-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Microbial competition for trace metals shapes their communities and interactions with humans and plants. Many bacteria scavenge trace metals with metallophores, small molecules that chelate environmental metal ions. Metallophore production may be predicted by genome mining, where genomes are scanned for homologs of known biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). However, accurately detecting non-ribosomal peptide (NRP) m...
