Critical intermediates reveal new biosynthetic events in the enigmatic colibactin pathway

open access: yes, 2016
Colibactin is a potent genotoxin that induces DNA double-strand breaks; it is produced by Escherichia coli strains harboring a pks+ island. It has been ten years since the discovery of this pks+ island (the colibactin biosynthetic gene cluster).

Investigations of the Biosynthesis and Structure of Colibactin, a Cytotoxin Made by Human-Associated Escherichia Coli

open access: yes, 2016
Humans exist in symbiosis with trillions of bacteria that are collectively referred to as the human microbiota. While commensal microbes are essential for health, some resident microbes can promote disease. Certain strains of human-associated Escherichia
