Module evolution and substrate specificity of fungal nonribosomal peptide synthetases involved in siderophore biosynthesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Most filamentous ascomycete fungi produce high affinity iron chelators called siderophores, biosynthesized nonribosomally by multimodular adenylating enzymes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). While genes encoding the m...
