The Molecular Basis of Conjugated Polyyne Biosynthesis in Phytopathogenic Bacteria
2014-06-04
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Polyynes (polyacetylenes), which are produced by a variety of organisms, play important roles in ecology. Whereas alkyne biosynthesis in plants, fungi, and insects has been studied, the biogenetic origin of highly unstable bacterial polyynes has remained a riddle. Transposon mutagenesis and genome sequencing unveiled the caryoynencin ( cay ) biosynthesis gene cluster in the plant pathogen B. caryophylli ,...
