Reimagining Lignin Valorization: Synthetic Biology–Enabled Sustainable Aromatic Carbon Biomanufacturing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The diagram illustrates a sustainable model of lignin valorization and carbon cycling based on microbial cell factories. Using lignin as the feedstock, synthetic biology technologies, including depolymerization, cell factory construction, pathway gene module integration, and metabolic network regulation, are applied to convert lignin into bulk ...

Pyrazole‐Derived Antibacterial Compounds Effectively Treat Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections by Inhibiting Aspartate Transcarbamoylase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

Structural and Functional Siderophore Remodeling by Enzymatic Delipidation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A surprising functional switch in bacterial siderophores was discovered through genome mining and the analysis of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species. Pandorachelin B, a lipocyclopeptide that promotes swarming motility, is cleaved by a specialized acylase, yielding a ring‐contracted, homodetic cyclopeptide, pandorachelin A, which exhibits ...

Adaptive Responses of Tropical Crops: A Multi‐Scale Omics Integrated Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tropical crops integrate genomic, morphological, physiological, and ecological adaptations to thrive under extreme and variable environments. This review highlights how natural selection, domestication, and breeding shape stress resilience, resource‐use strategies, and productivity in sugarcane, banana, cassava, rubber and oil palm, offering new routes

The Natural Product Corramycin Acts as a DNA Gyrase Poison and Overcomes Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Corramycin, a myxobacterial natural product antibiotic, exhibits potent bactericidal activity against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The compound hijacks bacterial transporters such as BacA and OppABCD to enter the cell and inhibits DNA synthesis through a previously unrecognized mode of DNA gyrase poisoning, locking the enzyme in an ...

Atypical Condensation Domains Guide Discovery and Illuminate Biosynthesis of Myxoglucamides Featuring Vinyl‐Substituted, α‐Oxidized γ‐Amino Acids

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Genome mining of atypical condensation (C) domains leads to the discovery of myxoglucamides, glycolipopeptides featuring an unprecedented vinyl‐substituted, α‐oxidized γ‐amino acid. Biosynthetic studies reveal a discrete C‐domain‐like O‐acyltransferase, a β‐hydroxylation‐dependent chain‐extension checkpoint, and an unusual pathway for γ‐amino acid ...

Unveiling the Taxonomic Diversity and Unprecedented Biosynthetic Treasure of the Phylum Myxococcota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural products remain vital sources of therapeutics, and the phylum Myxococcota constitutes an especially rich reservoir for them. Based on decades of microbiological efforts, we present 154 new Myxococcota genomes and revise taxonomy quadrupling the number of families and genera.
