Genome Mining of Pseudomonas Species: Diversity and Evolution of Metabolic and Biosynthetic Potential.

ABSTRACT: Microbial genome sequencing has uncovered a myriad of natural products (NPs) that have yet to be explored. Bacteria in the genus Pseudomonas serve as pathogens, plant growth promoters, and therapeutically, industrially, and environmentally important microorganisms. Though most species of Pseudomonas have a large number of NP biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in their genomes, it is difficult to link many of these BGCs with products under current laboratory conditions. In order to gain new insights into the diversity, distribution, and evolution of these BGCs in Pseudomonas for the discovery of unexplored NPs, we applied several bioinformatic programming approaches to characterize BGCs from Pseudomonas reference genome sequences available in public databases alon
