Journal ArticleDOI

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide natural products: Overview and recommendations for a universal nomenclature

Paul G. Arnison, +65 more
TL;DR: This review presents recommended nomenclature for the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a rapidly growing class of natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster.

Marnix H. Medema, +164 more
TL;DR: This work proposes the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard, to facilitate consistent and systematic deposition and retrieval of data on biosynthetic gene clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic evidence for the early evolution of microcystin synthesis

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analyses indicate a coevolution of housekeeping genes and microcystin synthetase genes for the entire evolutionary history of the toxin, and strongly suggest that the genes encoding nodularin Synthetase are recently derived from those encoding microcysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of light, temperature, nitrate, orthophosphate, and bacteria on growth of and hepatotoxin production by Oscillatoria agardhii strains.

TL;DR: Two of the three toxic cultures studied produced more toxins in axenic than in nonaxenic cultures and higher concentrations had no additional effect.
