Transporter genes in biosynthetic gene clusters predict metabolite characteristics and siderophore activity
2020-06-24
Abstract excerpt
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are operonic sets of microbial genes that synthesize specialized metabolites with diverse functions, including siderophores and antibiotics, which often require export to the extracellular environment. For this reason, genes for transport across cellular membranes are essential for the production of specialized metabolites, and are often genomically co-localized with BGCs. Here we...
