Synthesis of a Truncated Microcystin Tetrapeptide Molecule from a Partial Mcy Gene Cluster in Microcystis Cultures and Blooms

Microcystis spp. threaten freshwater ecosystems through the proliferation of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) and production of the hepatotoxin, microcystin. While microcystin and its biosynthesis pathway, encoded by the mcy genes, have been well studied for over 50 years, a recent st...
