A wealth of new biosynthetic pathways from the global ocean microbiome

A wealth of new biosynthetic pathways from the global ocean microbiome

Nature, Published online: 22 June 2022; doi:10.1038/d41586-022-01545-x

DNA from more than 1,000 marine microbial communities around the world was used to reconstruct around 26,000 genomes. The analyses identified a highly biosynthetically diverse family of bacteria in the open ocean, as well as new enzymes and biochemical compounds.
