Origin of saxitoxin biosynthetic genes in cyanobacteria. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a potentially fatal syndrome associated with the consumption of shellfish that have accumulated saxitoxin (STX). STX is produced by microscopic marine dinoflagellate algae.

Biosynthetic genes for aminoglycoside antibiotics [PDF]
Biosynthetic studies of aminoglycoside antibiotics have progressed remarkably during the last decade. Many biosynthetic gene clusters for aminoglycoside antibiotics including streptomycin, kanamycin, butirosin, neomycin and gentamicin have been identified to date.

Anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in Brassica rapa [PDF]
Anthocyanins are a group of flavonoid compounds. As a group of important secondary metabolites, they perform several key biological functions in plants. Anthocyanins also play beneficial health roles as potentially protective factors against cancer and heart disease.

Mutations in coenzyme Q10 biosynthetic genes [PDF]
Although it was first described in 1989, our understanding of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency is only now coming of age with the recent first description of the underlying molecular defects. The diverse clinical presentations, classifiable into four major syndromes, raise the question as to whether the deficiencies are primary or secondary.

Biosynthetic Genes for the Tetrodecamycin Antibiotics [PDF]
ABSTRACT We recently described 13-deoxytetrodecamycin, a new member of the tetrodecamycin family of antibiotics. A defining feature of these molecules is the presence of a five-membered lactone called a tetronate ring. By sequencing the genome of a producer strain, Streptomyces sp.

Identification of target genes of the bZIP transcription factor OsTGAP1, whose overexpression causes elicitor-induced hyperaccumulation of diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice cells. [PDF]
Phytoalexins are specialised antimicrobial metabolites that are produced by plants in response to pathogen attack. Momilactones and phytocassanes are the major diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice and are synthesised from geranylgeranyl diphosphate, which is

Biosynthetic Gene Clusters from Swine Gut Microbiome
The abuse of antibiotics has become a serious health challenge in the veterinary field. It creates environmental selection pressure on bacteria and facilitates the rapid spread of antibiotic resistance genes. The speed of discovery and application of cost-effective alternatives to antibiotics is slow in pig production.
