In this review, we discuss violacein and prodigiosin, two chromogenic bacterial secondary
metabolites that have diverse biological activities. Although both compounds were …

This review summarizes the role of environmental factors on amphibian microbiotas at the
organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels. At the organismal …

We designed two probiotic treatments to control chytridiomycosis caused by
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) on infected Panamanian golden frogs (Atelopus …

Highlights•The red tripyrrole pigment prodiginine produced from natural sources.•The
underlying mechanism of quorum sensing in prodigiosin production is under-explored.• …

Heterogeneous environment adaptation is critical to understand the species evolution and
response to climate change. However, how narrow‐range species adapt to micro …

Host-associated microbial communities, like other ecological communities, may be impacted
by the colonization order of taxa through priority effects. Developing embryos and their …

Bacterial pigments stand out as exceptional natural bioactive compounds with versatile
functionalities. The pigments represent molecules from distinct chemical categories …

Prodigiosin possesses antibacterial activities, but as a highly hydrophobic compound, it
raised the question about how Serratia marcescens introduce this compound to other …

Chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a skin disease
associated with worldwide amphibian declines. Symbiotic microbes living on amphibian skin …

The skin and its microbiome are the first lines of defense against environmental stressors
and pathogens. The symbiotic relationships between the host and the microbiome and …
