Adaptive radiation during long-term experimental evolution of the multicellular bacterium, Streptomyces

John Munnoch, Silja Vahtokari, Leena Kerr, Paul A. Hoskisson

This study tracks adaptive radiation in Streptomyces over 3000 generations, showing parallel loss of sporulation, morphological changes, and metabolic diversification under relaxed selection.

Novel antibiotic mode of action by repression of promoter isomerisation

Leena Kerr, Douglas F. Browning, Kimon Lemonidis…·Nicholas P. Tucker

This paper identifies MGB-BP-3 as an antibiotic that inhibits promoter isomerisation in S. aureus, showing resistance evolution is unlikely.
