Phylogeny-Aware Metabologenomics Accurately Assigns Natural Products to Biosynthetic Gene Clusters. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolWe report a statistical approach for associating biosynthetic gene clusters with their cognate metabolites and demonstrate its unprecedented power for scalable natural product discovery. Notably, it drastically reduces spurious associations by explicitly integrating the phylogeny of microbial producer strains.

How Myxobacteria Cooperate [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2015 Prokaryotes often reside in groups where a high degree of relatedness has allowed the evolution of cooperative behaviors. However, very few bacteria or archaea have made the successful transition from unicellular to obligate multicellular life. A notable exception is the myxobacteria, in which cells cooperate to perform group functions highlighted by ...

Enabling Access to Novel Bacterial Biosynthetic Potential From ONT Draft Genomic Data. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolWe demonstrated that a draft genome assembly obtained using long‐read sequencing is enough for the bioprospection of BGCs, and that it allowed us to successfully clone a novel lanthipeptide BGC into a genome engineering‐ready vector, illustrating the capabilities of this strategy for the discovery of novel natural products.

Current Biology, 2002 Many microorganisms, including myxobacteria, cyanobacteria, and flexibacteria, move by gliding. Although gliding always describes a slow surface-associated translocation in the direction of the cell's long axis, it can result from two very different propulsion mechanisms: social (S) motility and adventurous (A) motility.

Genetic manipulation and tools in myxobacteria for the exploitation of secondary metabolism
Engineering Microbiology, 2023 Myxobacteria are famous for their capacity for social behavior and natural product biosynthesis. The unique sociality of myxobacteria is not only an intriguing scientific topic but also the main limiting factor for their manipulation.
