AAC(3) gene transferred from Saccharothrix to Ophiocordyceps
Putative horizontal gene transfer event of aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase (AAC(3)) from the actinomycete Saccharothrix sp. CB00851 to the zombie-ant fungus Ophiocordyceps kimflemingiae, as predicted by the pipeline and supported by sequence identity, contig analysis, and upregulation during behavioral manipulation of ants.
