Info:
A team of scientists analyzed biological compounds produced by Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea, a marine bacterium. They determined that the compounds, suspected to have antibacterial activity, were not effective in that role and that the bacterium may be producing other undiscovered compounds that achieve this function. Sequencing was conducted with PacBio after size-selection with BluePippin for 10 kb libraries.
