Antimicrobial Secondary Metabolites From Rhizosphere‐Associated Streptomyces Species in Northern Nigerian Agricultural Soils: Genomic Mining and Bioactivity Assessment

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Nigerian agricultural soils harbour diverse Streptomyces species producing novel antimicrobial secondary metabolites. Genomic mining revealed 187 biosynthetic gene clusters, leading to isolation of twelve new compounds with potent activity against multidrug‐resistant pathogens, including MRSA and vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus. ABSTRACT Streptomyces

Multi‐Omics Insights Into Anthraquinone Biosynthesis in Rheum tanguticum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3953-3968, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Rheum tanguticum is renowned for its medicinal properties, including purgative, anti‐inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects, primarily attributed to anthraquinones (AQs). However, the molecular mechanisms of AQs biosynthesis have largely been hindered by insufficient genomic resources and functional genomics investigations.
