Survey of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters from Sequenced Myxobacteria Reveals Unexplored Biosynthetic Potential

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2019
Coinciding with the increase in sequenced bacteria, mining of bacterial genomes for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) has become a critical component of natural product discovery.

Genome-Guided Discovery of the First Myxobacterial Biarylitide Myxarylin Reveals Distinct C–N Biaryl Crosslinking in RiPP Biosynthesis

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a structurally diverse group of natural products. They feature a wide range of intriguing post-translational modifications, as exemplified by the biarylitides.

Dynamics of active filaments in porous media

open access: yes, 2019
The motion of active polymers in a porous medium is shown to depend critically on flexibilty, activity and degree of polymerization. For given Peclet number, we observe a transition from localisation to diffusion as the stiffness of the chains is ...

Collective motion and nonequilibrium cluster formation in colonies of gliding bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We characterize cell motion in experiments and show that the transition to collective motion in colonies of gliding bacterial cells confined to a monolayer appears through the organization of cells into larger moving clusters.

Porin‐Independent Uptake of Small Molecule Antibiotics Facilitated by Escherichia coli Outer Membrane Vesicles

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 235-244, January 2026.
We demonstrate that bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) can enhance antibiotic delivery into Gram‐negative bacteria by bypassing porin‐dependent uptake. Encapsulation of imipenem in OMVs significantly increased its effectiveness against multidrug‐resistant clinical isolates, highlighting OMVs as a promising platform for overcoming permeability ...

Are Myxobacteria intelligent? [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
"Intelligence" is understood in different ways. Because humans are proud of their ability to speak, intelligence often includes the ability to communicate with others, to plan for the future, and to solve frequently encountered problems. Myxobacteria are among the most socially adept and ubiquitous of bacteria that live in the soil.

Strong violation of the competitive exclusion principle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bacteria and plants are able to form population waves as a result of their consumer behaviour and propagation. A soliton-like interpenetration of colliding population waves was assumed but not proved earlier. Here we show how and why colliding population

Homoterpene Biosynthesis in Fungi

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 52, December 22, 2025.
The first homoterpene biosynthetic pathway in the fungal kingdom is reported. A methyltransferase–terpene cyclase pair produces a unique heptamethyl bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane homoterpene via presodorifen, demonstrating that homoterpene biosynthesis via the addition of a C1 unit to terpene diphosphate precursors prior to scaffold formation extends beyond the
