A diversified, widespread microbial gene cluster encodes homologs of methyltransferases involved in methanogenesis

2023-07-31

Abstract excerpt

Analyses of microbial genomes have revealed unexpectedly wide distributions of enzymes from specialized metabolism, including methanogenesis, providing exciting opportunities for discovery. Here, we identify a family of gene clusters (the type 1 mlp gene clusters (MGCs)) that encodes homologs of the soluble coenzyme M methyltransferases (SCMTs) involved in methylotrophic methanogenesis and is widespread in bacter...
