Abstract
⺠Promoter exchange as simple way to induce the production of the cryptic blue pigment indigoidine from Photorhabdus. ⺠Heterologous expression in E. coli as another way to produce indigoidine. ⺠Different regulatory mechanisms for indigoidine biosynthesis in Photorhabdus and E. coli. ⺠Identification of genes acting as repressors in the indigoidine biosynthesis in Photorhabdus. ⺠Phylogenetic analysis of indC and comparative cluster analysis indicates horizontal transfer of the indigoidine biosynthesis gene cluster.
