Expanding gene families helps generate the metabolic robustness required for antibiotic biosynthesis

2017-03-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introductory paragraph</h4> Expanding the genetic repertoire of an organism by gene duplication or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) can aid adaptation. Streptomyces species are prolific producers of bioactive specialised metabolites with adaptive functions in nature and some have found utility in human medicine such as antibiotics. Whilst the biosynthesis of these specialised metabolites is directed by dedicat...
