Production of the Bengamide Class of Marine Natural Products in Myxobacteria: Biosynthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2015 Abstract The bengamides, sponge‐derived natural products that have been characterized as inhibitors of methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs), have been intensively investigated as anticancer compounds. We embarked on a multidisciplinary project to supply bengamides by fermentation of the terrestrial myxobacterium M.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 12, Page 3556-3576, December 2023., 2023 The lactic acid bacterium C. maltaromaticum was widely distributed in low concentrations in Danish freshwater environments except for locations with pH < 5. Isolates displayed a versatile metabolism and a relatively high frequency of mostly low‐intensity antagonism within the species, but unrelated to phylogeny or location. Although C.

Tartrolon sensing and detoxification by the Listeria monocytogenes timABR resistance operon
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 120, Issue 5, Page 629-644, November 2023., 2023 The natural reservoir of the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is the environment. We here describe the L. monocytogenes timABR genes as a novel resistance cassette providing resistance against tartrolon B, an antibiotic produced by environmental competitors. Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne bacterium that naturally occurs in the soil.

New Phytologist, Volume 240, Issue 2, Page 770-783, October 2023., 2023 Summary Biofilm‐forming benthic diatoms are key primary producers in coastal habitats, where they frequently dominate sunlit intertidal substrata. The development of gliding motility in raphid diatoms was a key molecular adaptation that contributed to their evolutionary success.

Draft Genome Sequences of the Obligatory Marine Myxobacterial Strains Enhygromyxa salina SWB005 and SWB007 [PDF]
, 2018 The two marine myxobacterial strains Enhygromyxa salina SWB005 and SWB007 were isolated from coastal soil samples using Escherichia coli as bait for these predatory strains. These strains produce unique specialized metabolites.

Food Bioengineering, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 187-199, September 2023., 2023 Yarrowia lipolytica possesses a transparent inherited background, relatively mature molecular manipulations, and controllable metabolic regulations, making it one of the most popular and extensively researched nonconventional yeasts. Its broad substrate spectrum and superior environmental tolerance make it attractive to develop as a microbial cell ...

Volatile sensation: The chemical ecology of the earthy odorant geosmin
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 9, Page 1565-1574, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Geosmin may be the most familiar volatile compound, as it lends the earthy smell to soil. The compound is a member of the largest family of natural products, the terpenoids. The broad distribution of geosmin among bacteria in both terrestrial and aquatic environments suggests that this compound has an important ecological function, for example,

Future Directions of Marine Myxobacterial Natural Product Discovery Inferred from Metagenomics
Marine Drugs, 2018 Over the last two decades, halophilic (organisms that thrive at high salt concentrations) and halotolerant (organisms that have adapted to high salt concentrations) myxobacteria emerged as an important source of structurally diverse secondary metabolites

Structures and Mechanisms of a Novel Bacterial Transport System for Fatty Acids
ChemBioChem, Volume 24, Issue 15, August 1, 2023., 2023 The bacterial tripartite ATP‐independent transporters facilitate the uptake of dicarboxylates and similar metabolites. Some have evolved to work with an additional lipoprotein component, TatT, whose role remained elusive. This work demonstrates that TatT displays a preference for lipophilic molecules and represents a novel transport system for lipids ...
