Bacteria have evolved a wide range of mechanisms to harm and kill their competitors,
including chemical, mechanical and biological weapons. Here we review the incredible …

Streptomycetes are the most abundant source of antibiotics. Typically, each species
produces several antibiotics, with the profile being species specific. Streptomyces coelicolor …

Streptomyces species continue to attract attention as a source of novel medicinal
compounds. Despite a long history of studies on these microorganisms, they still have many …

Streptomyces bacteria are the major source of antibiotics and other secondary metabolites.
Various environmental and physiological conditions affect the onset and level of production …

Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) refers to the process of cell-to-cell bacterial communication
enabled through the production and sensing of the local concentration of small molecules …

The beta-lactam antibiotics have been serving mankind for over 70years. Despite this old
age, they continue to provide health to the world population by virtue of industrial production …

Phenotypic heterogeneity describes the occurrence of “nonconformist” cells within an
isogenic population. The nonconformists show an expression profile partially different from …

Quorum-sensing (QS) mediated dynamic regulation has emerged as an effective strategy for
optimizing product titers in microbes. However, these QS-based circuits are often created on …

Despite being a yellow pigment visible to the human eye, coelimycin (CPK) remained to be
an undiscovered secondary metabolite for over 50 years of Streptomyces research …

Abstract Background Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are key regulatory elements that control a
wide range of cellular processes in all bacteria in which they have been studied. Taking …
