Characterization of the biosynthetic gene cluster for cryptic phthoxazolin A in Streptomyces avermitilis. [PDF]
Phthoxazolin A, an oxazole-containing polyketide, has a broad spectrum of anti-oomycete activity and herbicidal activity. We recently identified phthoxazolin A as a cryptic metabolite of Streptomyces avermitilis that produces the important anthelmintic ...

Pseudomonas cyclic lipopeptides suppress the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae by induced resistance and direct antagonism [PDF]
Beneficial Pseudomonas spp. produce an array of antimicrobial secondary metabolites such as cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs). We investigated the capacity of CLP-producing Pseudomonas strains and their crude CLP extracts to control rice blast caused by ...

Characterisation of a putative dothistromin biosynthetic cluster : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Molecular Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The fungus Dothistroma pini is a key pathogen in New Zealand (and international) softwood plantations, most notably P. radiata. The mycotoxin dothistromin produced by this saprophytic fungus is believed to play a major role in its pathogenesis ...

Metabolic network percolation quantifies biosynthetic capabilities across the human oral microbiome [PDF]
The biosynthetic capabilities of microbes underlie their growth and interactions, playing a prominent role in microbial community structure. For large, diverse microbial communities, prediction of these capabilities is limited by uncertainty about ...

Transcriptional Activation of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Filamentous Fungi
Filamentous fungi are highly productive cell factories, many of which are industrial producers of enzymes, organic acids, and secondary metabolites. The increasing number of sequenced fungal genomes revealed a vast and unexplored biosynthetic potential in the form of transcriptionally silent secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs ...

Protocols for yTREX/Tn5‐based gene cluster expression in Pseudomonas putida
Summary Bacterial gene clusters, which represent a genetic treasure trove for secondary metabolite pathways, often need to be activated in a heterologous host to access the valuable biosynthetic products.
