Abstract

In an effort to explore myxobacterial natural product biosynthetic pathways, the draft genome sequence of Cystobacter ferrugineus strain Cbfe23 has been obtained. Analysis of the genome using antiSMASH suggests a multitude of unique natural product biosynthetic pathways. This genome will contribute to the investigation of secondary metabolism in other myxobacterial species.
