Synthetic biology programs now offer streamlined approaches to the discovery\, prod uction\, and design of gene-encoded small molecules. While most research p rogress has been achieved with bacteria and fungi due to their compact gen omes and clustered genes for biosynthesis\, recent success has extended to medicinally important land plants\, thereby showcasing the fascinating bi osynthetic potential of complex organisms. Marine microalgae and macroalga e\, on the other hand\, represent an untapped biosynthetic resource despit e their global importance and environmental significance. This presentatio n will highlight recent progress in the genomics-guided interrogation of h armful algal bloom Pseudo-nitzschia diatoms that produce the devastating n eurotoxin domoic acid. The discovery and application of new biosynthetic e nzymes from diatoms will be discussed.\n DTSTART:20171120T180000Z DTEND:20171120T193000Z LOCATION:Rm 321\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Chemical Society Seminar: Dr. Bradley Moore - Biosynthesis in Toxic Marine Microalgae URL:https://www.mcgill.ca/channels/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar- dr-bradley-moore-biosynthesis-toxic-marine-microalgae-282858 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
