Actinobacteria, a large group of Gram-positive bacteria, secrete a wide range of extracellular
enzymes involved in the degradation of organic compounds and biopolymers including the …

Cockroaches have existed for 300 million years and more than 4600 extant species have
been described. Throughout their evolution, cockroaches have been associated with …

Streptomycetes are highly metabolically gifted bacteria with the abilities to produce
bioproducts that have profound economic and societal importance. These bioproducts are …

To stop the antimicrobial resistance crisis, there is an urgent need for increased investment
in antimicrobial research and development. Currently, many researchers are focussing on …

Bacterial symbionts exhibiting co-evolutionary patterns with insect hosts play a vital role in
the nutrient synthesis, metabolism, development, reproduction, and immunity of insects. The …

Actinobacteria associated with insects represent one potentially rich source of novel natural
products with antifungal activity. Here, we investigated the phylogenetic diversity and …

In recent years, the insect microbiome has become the focus of many actinomycete
