Fluopsin C: A Review of the Antimicrobial Activity against Phytopathogens
Fluopsin C (FlpC) is an organocupric secondary metabolite with low-molecular-weight, produced by some Pseudomonas and Streptomyces bacteria. The compound was identified in 1970 as prismatic dark-green crystals, with strong antimicrobial activity against ...

Environmental drivers of viral community composition in Antarctic soils identified by viromics
Background The Antarctic continent is considered the coldest and driest place on earth with simple ecosystems, devoid of higher plants. Soils in the ice-free regions of Antarctica are known to harbor a wide range of microorganisms from primary producers ...

Increased variability of microbial communities in restored salt marshes nearly 30 years after tidal flow restoration [PDF]
We analyzed microbial diversity and community composition from four salt marsh sites that were impounded for 40–50 years and subsequently restored and four unimpounded sites in southeastern Connecticut over one growing season.

Electricity-assisted production of caproic acid from grass
Background Medium chain carboxylic acids, such as caproic acid, are conventionally produced from food materials. Caproic acid can be produced through fermentation by the reverse β-oxidation of lactic acid, generated from low value lignocellulosic biomass.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome [PDF]
Studies of the human microbiome have revealed that even healthy individuals differ remarkably in the microbes that occupy habitats such as the gut, skin and vagina. Much of this diversity remains unexplained, although diet, environment, host genetics and

A novel inducible prophage from the mycosphere inhabitant Paraburkholderia terrae BS437
Bacteriophages constitute key gene transfer agents in many bacteria. Specifically, they may confer gene mobility to Paraburkholderia spp. that dwells in soil and the mycosphere.

Effect of Burkholderia tropica and Herbaspirillum frisingense strains on sorghum growth is plant genotype dependent [PDF]
Sorghum is a multipurpose crop that is cultivated worldwide. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have important roles in enhancing sorghum biomass and nutrient uptake and suppressing plant pathogens. The aim of this research was to test the effects of
