The Widely Conserved <italic toggle="yes">ebo</italic> Cluster Is Involved in Precursor Transport to the Periplasm during Scytonemin Synthesis in <italic toggle="yes">Nostoc punctiforme</italic>

ABSTRACT Scytonemin is a dimeric indole-phenol sunscreen synthesized by some cyanobacteria under conditions of exposure to UVA radiation. While its biosynthetic pathway has been elucidated only partially, comparative genomics reveals that the scytonemin operon often contains a cluster of five highly...
