Permanent Draft Genome Sequences of Three Frankia sp. Strains That Are Atypical, Noninfective, Ineffective Isolates [PDF]
Here, we present draft genome sequences for three atypical Frankia strains (lineage 4) that were isolated from root nodules but are unable to reinfect actinorhizal plants. The genome sizes of Frankia sp. strains EUN1h, BMG5.36, and NRRL B16386 were 9.91,

Further characterization of Dothistromin genes in the fungal forest pathogen Dothistroma septosporum : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Molecular Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Dothistroma septosporum is a forest pathogen that causes a disease called Dothistroma needle blight. The symptoms are thought to be due to the accumulation of dothistromin toxin produced by D. septosporum.

Pass-back chain extension expands multimodular assembly line biosynthesis. [PDF]
Modular nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) enzymatic assembly lines are large and dynamic protein machines that generally effect a linear sequence of catalytic cycles.

The role of the phosphopantetheinyltransferase enzyme, PswP, in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial secondary metabolites by Serratia marcescens Db10 [PDF]
Phosphopantetheinyltransferase (PPTase) enzymes fulfil essential roles in primary and secondary metabolism in prokaryotes, archaea and eukaryotes. PPTase enzymes catalyse the essential modification of the carrier protein domain of fatty acid synthases ...

Confirmation of the presence of a dothistromin biosynthetic gene cluster in the fungal forest pathogen Dothistroma pini : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University [PDF]
Pages misnumbered. Doesn't affect meaning.The polyketide dothistromin is a toxin produced by the fungus Dothistroma pini and is thought to play a role in causing Dothistroma needle blight on the pine Pinus radiata. Dothistromin is structurally similar to
