Analysis of nonribosomal peptide synthetase genes in haemolymph microbes of marine crabs.

Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) are multi-domain enzymes that have innumerably beneficial health applications. Realizing the significance of marine microorganisms in search for NRPS sequences, study was conducted for analysis of NRPS gene sequences of marine crab haemolymph bacteria for the first time. Strains belonging to five different species were found to have NRPS genes.
