Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are produced for defense in nearly all taxa from simple
bacteria to complex mammalian species. Some amphibian families have developed this …

In natural product research, microbial metabolites have tremendous potential to provide new
therapeutic agents since extremely diverse chemical structures can be found in the nearly …

Here we review the knowledge about skin microbiomes in amphibians accumulated over the
last two decades and the evidence regarding the protective role of skin bacteria. Amphibians …

Coral bleaching has a profound impact on the health and function of reef ecosystems, but
the metabolomic effects of coral bleaching are largely uncharacterized. Here, untargeted …

Nowadays, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry
(MALDI-TOF MS) is routinely implemented as the reference method for the swift and …

Biosurfactants are a group of amphiphilic compounds biosynthesized by different animals,
plants, and microbial-based resources. They possess surface-active properties such as …

Chytridiomycosis, a lethal fungal disease caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is
responsible for population declines and extinctions of amphibians worldwide. However, not …

Psoriasis is a skin disease that is not lethal and does not spread through bodily contact.
However, this seemingly harmless condition can lead to a loss of confidence and social …

The host-microbiome associations occurring on the skin of vertebrates significantly influence
hosts' health. However, the factors mediating their interactions remain largely unknown …

Pseudomonas cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are encoded non-ribosomally by biosynthetic
gene clusters (BGCs) and possess diverse biological activities. In this study, we conducted …
