Thank you @mmzdouc.bsky.social for detailing our work!
In this study we highlight conserved & unique #clusters and link 5 #lichen #metabolites to #BGCs.
Thank you @marnixmedema.bsky.social & all the collaborators 🥂!

Happy to see this paper out. My colleague Wonyong Kim spent a long time revealing the biosynthetic genes of lichen depsides and depsidones, and here is what we found.

Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids
Depsides and depsidones are polyketide-derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. ...

Trump depsides justice, so he makes the law fit what he wants.
