Interactions between microorganisms are often mediated by specialized metabolites.
Although the structures and biosynthesis of these compounds may have been elucidated …

Microbial interactions are key to maintaining soil biodiversity. However, whether negative or
positive associations govern the soil microbial system at a global scale remains virtually …

Lipopeptides represent a large group of microbial natural products that include important
antibacterial and antifungal drugs and some of the most-powerful known biosurfactants. The …

Covering: up to March 2024. Microbial natural products have historically been a cornerstone
for the discovery of therapeutic agents. Advanced (meta) genome sequencing technologies …

Investigating the ecological context of microbial predator–prey interactions enables the
identification of microorganisms, which produce multiple secondary metabolites to evade …

ABSTRACT A major source of pseudomonad-specialized metabolites is the nonribosomal
peptide synthetases (NRPSs) assembling siderophores and lipopeptides. Cyclic …

Fungi of the genus Mortierella occur ubiquitously in soils where they play pivotal roles in
carbon cycling, xenobiont degradation, and promoting plant growth. These important fungi …

Soil bacterial predators that use the biomass of bacterial hosts for growth (multiplication),
energy, or replication have the potential to reduce bacterial populations in the wide variety of …

The role of antagonistic secondary metabolites produced by Pseudomonas protegens in
suppression of soil-borne phytopathogens has been clearly documented. However, their …

Lipopeptides are a class of lipid–peptide‐conjugated compounds with differing structural
features. This structural diversity is responsible for their diverse range of biological …
