Phylogenomics reveals subfamilies of fungal nonribosomal peptide synthetases and their evolutionary relationships

<p><b>Abstract</b></p> <p>Background</p> <p>Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are multimodular enzymes, found in fungi and bacteria, which biosynthesize peptides without the aid of ribosomes. Although their metabolite products have been the subject of...
