Examples of siderophores produced from marine metagenomes and their origin and composition of biosynthetic gene clusters.
Metagenomic DNA is obtained from various marine environmental samples and organisms, and the genes are practically cloned for material production.
Some of them are new types of genes or substances discovered for the first time in the ocean.
