Acidobacteria represents an underrepresented soil bacterial phylum whose members are
pervasive and copiously distributed across nearly all ecosystems. Acidobacterial sequences …

The ability to produce plethora of secondary metabolites and enzymes for pharmaceutical,
agricultural and biotechnological applications make actinobacteria one of the most explored …

Application of microbes or their products in our life is increasing as research on microbiology
is proceeding. Many scientists are now paying much interest on research and proper …

Nutritional immunity is a form of innate immunity widespread in both vertebrates and
invertebrates. The term refers to a rich repertoire of mechanisms set up by the host to inhibit …

Microbacterium species have been isolated from a wide range of hosts and environments,
including heavy metal-contaminated sites. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis on …

N‐functionalized amines play important roles in nature and occur, for example, in the
antibiotic vancomycin, the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, the cytostatic actinomycin, the …

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin isolated mainly from toxic puffer fish. To date, the
TTX biosynthetic mechanism inside its hosts remains unresolved. Here, we hypothesize the …

Genome mining of Fulvivirga sp. W222 revealed a desferrioxamine-like biosynthetic gene
cluster containing an unknown gene fulF that is conserved in many Bacteroidetes species. A …

Pioneering microbial genomic surveys have revealed numerous untapped biosynthetic
gene clusters, unveiling the great potential of new natural products. Here, using a …

Biosynthesis of the hydroxamate siderophore aerobactin requires the activity of four proteins
encoded within the iuc operon. Recently, we biochemically reconstituted the biosynthetic …
