Discovery of an Antarctic ascidian-associated uncultivated Verrucomicrobia that encodes antimelanoma palmerolide biosynthetic capacity

TL;DR: In this paper, a metagenome-enabled investigation aimed at identifying the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) and palmerolide A-producing organism was described, and a 74kb candidate BGC encoding the multimodular enzymatic machinery (hybrid Type I-trans-AT polyketide synthase-non-ribosomal peptide synthetase and tailoring functional domains) was identified and found to harbor key features predicted as necessary for palmeride A biosynthesis.

In vivo cloning strategy for Rhizobium plasmids.

TL;DR: A mating-based system was successfully used to clone plasmids of Rhizobium species with sizes ranging from 150 to 270 kb, and a 500-kb fragment of a 600-kb megaplasmid was also cloned.
