Evidence for positive selection acting on microcystin synthetase adenylation domains in three cyanobacterial genera
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cyanobacteria produce a wealth of secondary metabolites, including the group of small cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxins that constitutes the microcystin family. The enzyme complex that directs the biosynthesis of microcystin is encode...
