Diverse secondary metabolites are expressed in particle-associated and free-living microorganisms of the permanently anoxic Cariaco Basin

Genome mining for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) can be used for the discovery of new compounds of biotechnological interest. Here, the authors use metagenomics and metatranscriptomics to identify diverse BGCs in free-living and particle-associated microbial communities through the stratified wat...

description Genome mining for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) can be used for the discovery of new compounds of biotechnological interest. Here, the authors use metagenomics and metatranscriptomics to identify diverse BGCs in free-living and particle-associated microbial communities through the stratified water column of the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela.
