Analyzes metabolite production in Capilliphycus salinus, suggesting its biotechnological potential.
fixation. Additionally, the genome contains other gene clusters related to the biosynthesis of biotechnologically relevant compounds, such as microcyclamide (mca), a cytotoxic cyanopeptide, and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), with photoprotective and antioxidant functions. High-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis showed the detectable production of three MAAs, with shinorine being the most abundantly produced compared with porphyra-334 and palythine. This work provides insights into the Cyanobacteria phylogenomics and metabolism, highlighting the potential of C. salinus ALCB114379 as a source of specific metabolites for biotechnological applications.
