Isolation of a Novel Microcystin-Degrading Bacterium and the Evolutionary Origin of <i>mlr</i> Gene Cluster

Isolation of a Novel Microcystin-Degrading Bacterium and the Evolutionary Origin of <i>mlr</i> Gene Cluster

The <i>mlr</i>-dependent biodegradation plays an essential role in the natural attenuation of microcystins (MCs) in eutrophic freshwater ecosystems. However, their evolutionary origin is still unclear due to the lack of <i>mlr </i>gene<i> </i>cluster sequences. In...
