Toxins, 2020 Prokaryotes represent a source of both biotechnological and pharmaceutical molecules of importance, such as nonribosomal peptides (NRPs). NRPs are secondary metabolites which their synthesis is independent of ribosomes.

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Microbes produce bioactive secondary metabolites as toxins, pigments, or virulence factors. These specialized compounds are produced by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS), polyketide synthases (PKS), or hybrid NRPS/PKS pathways. The genes encoding NRPS and PKS reside in biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), some of which have no identified ...

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2015 The Sfp-type 4′-phosphopantetheinyl transferase Ppt1 is required for activation of nonribosomal peptide synthetases, including α-aminoadipate reductase (AAR) for lysine biosynthesis and polyketide synthases, enzymes that biosynthesize peptide and ...

Current Research in Structural Biology, 2020 The recently discovered antibiotic teixobactin is produced by uncultured soil bacteria. The antibiotic inhibits cell wall synthesis of Gram-positive bacteria by binding to precursors of cell wall building blocks, and therefore it is thought to be less ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

Plastic Diets Drive Microbiome and Metabolic Reprogramming in Wax Moth Larvae (Achroia grisella)
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, July 2026.Wax moth larvae (Achroia grisella) can consume LDPE and PLA, triggering polymer‐specific restructuring of the gut microbiome and host metabolism. LDPE feeding enriches Bacillus spp. and is associated with shifts in carbohydrate and amino‐acid pathways consistent with hydrocarbon processing, whereas PLA feeding enriches Enterococcus spp.

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Drought severely limits sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) productivity, necessitating sustainable microbial strategies to enhance plant resilience. Endophytic bacteria modulate plant stress responses through diverse plant growth‐promoting (PGP) traits.

Distinct roles for intra- and extracellular siderophores during Aspergillus fumigatus infection.
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 Siderophore biosynthesis by the highly lethal mould Aspergillus fumigatus is essential for virulence, but non-existent in humans, presenting a rare opportunity to strategize therapeutically against this pathogen.
