AB  - Mycosporine-like Amino Acids (MAAs) are small, secondary metabolites, with the ability to absorb UV light. They are produced by cyanobacteria to act as a sunscreen. The aim of this study was to catalogue MAA genetic and chemical diversity in strains of the cyanobacterial genus Nostoc. MAAs were detected in 21 of the 68 Nostoc strains using LC/MS. Fifty four different MAAs were detected across the Nostoc strains. Glycosylated MAAs were detected in 17 of the 21 strains with hexose being the most c...
