The study identifies pavettamine, a toxin causing gousiekte in livestock, as being synthesized by bacterial endophytes via a conserved gene cluster acquired through horizontal gene transfer.

The paper shows ribosomal synthesis generates a noncanonical 3-nitrotyrosine building block used in nonribosomal peptide synthesis of rufomycin.
