Genome evolution and the emergence of fruiting body development in Myxococcus xanthus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
BACKGROUND: Lateral gene transfer (LGT) is thought to promote speciation in bacteria, though well-defined examples have not been put forward. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPLE FINDINGS: We examined the evolutionary history of the genes essential for a trait that ...

Bacterial Abundance, Diversity and Activity During Long-Term Colonization of Non-biodegradable and Biodegradable Plastics in Seawater

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The microorganisms living on plastics called “plastisphere” have been classically described as very abundant, highly diverse, and very specific when compared to the surrounding environments, but their potential ability to biodegrade various plastic types

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

Microorganisms, 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.

Integrative analysis of microbiota and metabolomics in chromium-exposed silkworm (Bombyx mori) midguts based on 16S rDNA sequencing and LC/MS metabolomics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The gut microbiota, a complex ecosystem integral to host wellbeing, is modulated by environmental triggers, including exposure to heavy metals such as chromium.

Effect of legume-cereal mixtures on the diversity of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2012
Aboveground plant diversity is known to influence belowground diversity and ecosystem processes. However, there is little knowledge of soil microbial succession in legume-grass mixtures.

Sugarcane–Peanut Intercropping System Enhances Bacteria Abundance, Diversity, and Sugarcane Parameters in Rhizospheric and Bulk Soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Sugarcane–legume intercropping systems can effectively control pests and diseases as well as improve the fertility and health of farmland soil. However, little is known about the response of bacterial abundance, diversity, and community composition in ...

Both Soil Bacteria and Soil Chemical Property Affected the Micropredator Myxobacterial Community: Evidence from Natural Forest Soil and Greenhouse Rhizosphere Soil

Microorganisms, 2020
Myxobacteria are abundant micropredators in soil, and are social bacteria with multicellular behavior and producers of versatile secondary metabolites. The interaction between predator and prey populations is an important component in the soil microbial ...

Differential assemblage of functional units in paddy soil microbiomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Flooded rice fields are not only a global food source but also a major biogenic source of atmospheric methane. Using metatranscriptomics, we comparatively explored structural and functional succession of paddy soil microbiomes in the oxic surface layer ...

Diversity of FAAL enzymes and prediction of their substrate specificity using FAALPred

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract FAALs (fatty acyl‐AMP ligases) recruit and incorporate fatty acids during the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Their diversity, distribution, and substrate specificity remain poorly understood, which limits functional predictions from sequence data.
