Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Mining Oral Probiotics Based on Their Pathogen Inhibition and Deodorization Roles

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, EarlyView.
A promising oral probiotic strain Streptococcus salivarius MY‐6 stood out from 41 candidate lactic acid bacteria through the high‐throughput strategy based on its inhibitions of the growth and biofilm formation of the main oral pathogens Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, as well as its elimination of oral malodor‐associated ...

Structural and Functional Siderophore Remodeling by Enzymatic Delipidation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 39, 21 September 2026.
A surprising functional switch in bacterial siderophores was discovered through genome mining and the analysis of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species. Pandorachelin B, a lipocyclopeptide that promotes swarming motility, is cleaved by a specialized acylase, yielding a ring‐contracted, homodetic cyclopeptide, pandorachelin A, which exhibits ...
