Icariin Enhances the Enzymatic Activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase to Augment Akkermansia Abundance in Gut Microbiota for Improved PD‐1 Blockade Efficacy in Tumor Suppression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Icariin promoted the growth of Akk by enhancing the activity of N‐acetylgalactosaminidase (Amuc_0920), which enhanced mucin utilization and provided a favorable nutrient environment for bacterial growth. This icariin‐mediated enrichment of Akk further reshaped the tumor microenvironment and promoted CD8+ T cell infiltration, ultimately synergizing with

Discovery and Biosynthesis of the Novel Glycotetrapeptide Antibiotic Biffamycin A

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Genetic de‐regulation of a silent biosynthetic pathway allowed isolation and characterisation of a novel glycopeptide antibiotic named biffamycin A, which harbours unprecedented 5‐chloro‐4‐methoxy tryptophan and 3R‐hydroxy(α‐D‐mannoysl)‐D‐lysine moieties and is bioactive against MRSA and VRSA.

Microbial electrochemical snorkels (MESs): A budding technology for multiple applications. A mini review

Electrochemistry Communications, 2019
A microbial electrochemical snorkel (MES) is formed by the direct coupling of a microbial anode with a cathode, which may or may not be biotic. It can be considered as a short-circuited microbial fuel cell.

Forming electrochemically active biofilms from garden compost under chronoamperometry [PDF]

, 2008
Dimensionally stable anodes (DSA) were polarized at different constant potential values for several days in garden compost. After an initial lag period ranging from 1 to 10.5 days, the current increased fast and then stabilized for days.

A Microbial Lipid‐ATP Synthase Axis Fuels NK Cell Antitumor Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study focuses on the mechanism by which gut microbiota‐derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) regulate NK cell antitumor activity. B. intestinalis is identified to decrease extra‐intestinal tumor growth via its OMVs enriched in sphingosine (SP).
