ABSTRACT After an initial evolution in a reducing environment, life got successively challenged by reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially during the great oxidation event (GOE) that followed the development of photosynthesis. Therefore, ROS are deeply intertwined into the physiological, morphological and transcriptional responses of most present‐day

ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF A SECONDARY METABOLITE-PRODUCING CORAL BACTERIUM Pseudoalteromonas SPECIES [PDF]
A bacterium, collected at the surface of coral Acropora sp., TAB4.2 was successfully screened for secondary metabolites production based on PCR amplification of the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene.

Marinocyclins, polycationic macrocyclic depsipeptides, were discovered by genome mining from the marine coral‐derived bacterium Aquimarina megaterium. The compounds have broad‐spectrum activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative ESKAPE bacteria.

Structural Biology of Nonribosomal Peptide Synthetases [PDF]
The nonribosomal peptide synthetases are modular enzymes that catalyze synthesis of important peptide products from a variety of standard and non-proteinogenic amino acid substrates. Within a single module are multiple catalytic domains that are responsible for incorporation of a single residue. After the amino acid is activated and covalently attached

Analysis of naphthyridinomycin gene cluster revealed that this antibiotic is generated by nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) machinery. However, four modules encoded by two genes do not correspond with the structural units in the final product ...

Automated genome mining for natural products
Background Discovery of new medicinal agents from natural sources has largely been an adventitious process based on screening of plant and microbial extracts combined with bioassay-guided identification and natural product structure elucidation ...

Taxonomic Positions of a Nyuzenamide-Producer and Its Closely Related Strains
Streptomyces sp. N11-34 is a producer of bicyclic peptides named nyuzenamides A and B. We elucidated its taxonomic position and surveyed its nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) gene clusters by whole genome analysis ...

Contrasting alpine meadow and desert steppe environments were associated with coordinated shifts in Tibetan sheep dietary plant composition, faecal bacterial communities and metabolites. Plant‐family composition was more strongly associated with microbial variation than dietary alpha diversity, while major metabolite differences involved flavonoid‐ and

Adenylation Domain Engineering Enables Biosynthesis of an Improved Polymyxin Antibiotic
To enable incorporation of l‐2‐aminodecanoic acid into polymyxin by fermentation, a single Trp‐to‐Ala substitution is rationally introduced into the adenylation‐domain residue of its nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and efficiently switches substrate selectivity. The engineered strain produces biologically active Ada‐polymyxin, demonstrating that
