Plasmid-Borne Biosynthetic Gene Clusters within a Permanently Stratified Marine Water Column by Mara, Paraskevi, Geller-McGrath, David, Suter, Elizabeth, Taylor, Gordon T., Pachiadaki, Maria G., Edgcomb, Virginia P.

“…These identified genes encode for secondary metabolites that are mainly antimicrobial agents, and hence, their uptake via plasmids may increase the competitive advantage of those host taxa that acquire them. The ecological and evolutionary significance of smBGCs carried by prokaryotes in oxygen-depleted water columns is yet to be fully elucidated.…”
