Plants outsource many functions to an associated microbiome, an 'outside gut' composed of socially interacting bacterial communities that support plant growth and health. These dynamic and diverse microbiomes span different plant microenvir...

Extracellular nucleic acids (eNA) are ubiquitous components of bacterial biofilms, contributing to structural integrity, antimicrobial resistance, and immune evasion. While traditionally viewed as extracellular DNA in the canonical B-form, ...
Distribution of lactone-signaling system for expression of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters in Streptomyces species [0.03%]

Many Streptomyces species have a signaling-molecule/receptor system for induction of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Signaling molecules hitherto discovered and studied contain five-membered heterocycles, and are cla...

Although the study of microbes started with type strains and reference genomes, advances in sequencing technology and new interest in mixed microbial communities have made us aware that a single genome cannot and does not reflect the divers...

Climate change exposes plants to increasingly variable and overlapping abiotic and biotic stresses, challenging ecosystem stability as well as the survival and productivity of crops beyond the limits of classical defence strategies. Defence...
From sequence space to ecological function: microbiome-derived antimicrobial peptides as community effectors and therapeutic leads [0.03%]

Antimicrobial peptide research has long centred on host defence molecules, yet microbiomes themselves encode a diverse and increasingly important repertoire of peptide-based antimicrobials. These microbiome-derived antimicrobial peptides in...
