UV-B Radiations and Secondary Metabolites
Ultraviolet-B (UV-B: 280 to 320 nm) radiations have appeared to be detrimental to plants, due to their damaging effects on proteins, lipids, membranes and DNA. UV-B radiations are a significant regulator of plants’ secondary metabolites.

Predicting pathways for old and new metabolites through clustering [PDF]
The diverse metabolic pathways are fundamental to all living organisms, as they harvest energy, synthesize biomass components, produce molecules to interact with the microenvironment, and neutralize toxins. While discovery of new metabolites and pathways continues, the prediction of pathways for new metabolites can be challenging.

Burkholderia genome mining for nonribosomal peptide synthetases reveals a great potential for novel siderophores and lipopeptides synthesis [PDF]
Burkholderia is an important genus encompassing a variety of species, including pathogenic strains as well as strains that promote plant growth. We have carried out a global strategy, which combined two complementary approaches. The first one is genome guided with deep analysis of genome sequences and the second one is assay guided with experiments to ...
