A frameshift mutation drives divergent biosynthesis of metallophores in Methylobacterium extorquens

Alexa M. Zytnick, Marquis T Yazzie, Tashi C. E. Liebergesell…·Norma Cecilia Martinez-Gomez

This study identifies a frameshift mutation in M. extorquens AM1 that drives the production of methylolanthanin instead of rhodopetrobactin by altering the biosynthetic pathway.
