This study shows that Streptomyces sp. ATMOS43 detoxifies fusaric acid through amino acid conjugation, protecting plants from Fusarium pathogens.

This paper designs a synthetic microbial community for lignin degradation by integrating ecological and trait-based selection, showing enhanced lignin conversion through functional partitioning.

The paper identifies a family of over 2000 lanthipeptide biosynthetic gene clusters in Actinobacteria with anti-phage function, demonstrating their conservation and novel compound production.

The paper constructs a regulatory atlas of Streptomyces and related actinomycetes using DAP-seq and ChIP-seq, revealing conserved and divergent transcriptional networks.

This study shows Chitinophaga pinensis can switch between filamentous and spherical morphologies with distinct transcriptional profiles, impacting its behavior and interactions in the plant microbiome.

This study identifies a novel family of bacitracin-type antibiotics, paenitracins, produced by Paenibacillus species using a metabolomics-genomics workflow.

This study shows that serotonin is metabolized by Pseudomonas fluorescens into 5-HIAA and other products, enhancing its resistance to oxidative stress in serotonin-rich environments.

This study shows that plant colonization induces antifungal compound production in root-associated microbes, enhancing plant resistance to fungal pathogens.

This paper identifies Gbn, a novel GATC-binding NAP in Streptomyces, showing its impact on development and gene expression through chromatin binding and transcriptomic analysis.

The paper compares metabolic differences between Streptomyces coelicolor strains M1152 and M145 using omics data and a genome-scale model to identify metabolic changes affecting heterologous compound production.
