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.

Bioengineered Bacterial Vesicles and Biomimetic Hybrids Eliminate Biofilms and Balance the Gut Microbiome. [PDF]
SmallBiomimetic nanocarriers based on liposomes and Myxobacteria outer‐membrane vesicles (OMVs) are effective antibiotic delivery systems. Hybrids have a higher drug loading and can target intracellular pathogens, while OMVs evade immune clearance. Biomimetic nanoantibiotics effectively eliminate the biofilms of Gram‐negative bacteria. Besides, Myxobacteria

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 ...

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.
