This study identifies a frameshift mutation in M. extorquens AM1 that drives the production of methylolanthanin instead of rhodopetrobactin by altering the biosynthetic pathway.

This study reconstructs microbial consortia responsible for disease suppression in plants by combining dilution-to-extinction experiments with genome-resolved synthetic ecology.

The paper introduces an automated method to detect non-ribosomal peptide metallophore biosynthesis gene clusters in bacterial genomes, revealing widespread metallophore production and chemical diversity.

This paper predicts microbial metabolic interactions using cross-species co-expression analysis of RNA-sequencing data from microbiome datasets.

The paper shows that sporulation strategies in microbes can lead to coexistence in metapopulations by creating a trade-off between within-deme competition and between-deme dispersal.

The paper introduces an automated method to identify non-ribosomal peptide metallophore biosynthesis gene clusters in bacterial genomes, revealing widespread occurrence and untapped diversity.
