A Genomic View of Secondary Metabolite Production in Cyanobacteria
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacteria produce a wide range of secondary metabolites that are very diverse in chemical structure. These metabolites show also very diverse biological activities, including cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity, dermatotoxicity, and inhibition of proteases. The cyanotoxins that are harmful to animals, including humans, are essentially produced by freshwater cyanobacteria, while marine and terrestrial cyanobacteria pro...
