Evidence for positive selection acting on microcystin synthetase adenylation domains in three cyanobacterial genera

BACKGROUND: Cyanobacteria produce a wealth of secondary metabolites, including the group of small cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxins that constitutes the microcystin family. The enzyme complex that directs the biosynthesis of microcystin is encoded in a single large gene cluster (mcy). mcy genes have...
