High diversity but limited expression of biosynthetic gene clusters in a peatland microbial community
The in situ relevance of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) remains poorly understood. We apply meta-omics to characterize BGC diversity and activity along a peatland redox gradient. From seven metagenomes, we recover 9,694 BGCs, spanning diverse taxa, most lacking close relatives in reference databases, indicating exte...
