Mining of novel secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters from acid mine drainage
Scientific Data
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is usually acidic (pH < 4) and contains high concentrations of dissolved metals and metalloids, making AMD a typical representative of extreme environments. Recent studies have shown that microbes play a key role in AMD bioremediation, and secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (smBGCs) from AMD microbes are important resources for the synthesis of antibacterial and anticancer drugs.
