A comparative genomics study of genetic products potentially encoding ladderane lipid biosynthesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The fatty acids of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria contain linearly concatenated cyclobutane moieties, so far unique to biology. These moieties are under high ring strain and are synthesised by a presently unknown bio...
