The underestimation of global microbial diversity [PDF]

mBio, 2016
In a recent commentary, Amann and Rosselló-Mórab summarize how the census of Bacteria and Archaea has changed over time (1). For decades, the number of recognized microbial taxa was underestimated owing to limitations associated with culture-based methods and the rules of nomenclature.

Trifunctional flavoenzyme-catalyzed asymmetric 4-alkyl-butenolide assembly in avenolide biosynthesis

Nature Communications
Butenolides are important features of many bioactive compounds. Current petrochemical-based methods for asymmetric butenolide synthesis are unsustainable. Biocatalysis could enable cheaper, greener, and more sustainable alternatives.

Microbial Diversity of Marine Sponges [PDF]

, 2003
The recent application of molecular microbial ecology tools to sponge-microbe associations has revealed a glimpse into the biodiversity of these microbial communities, that is considered just 'the tip of the iceberg'. This chapter provides an overview over these new findings with regard to identity, diversity and distribution patterns of sponge ...
