Most human infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms growing as biofilms. These
three-dimensional self-organized communities are embedded in a dense matrix allowing …

Although the prevalence of antibiotic resistance is increasing at an alarming rate, there are a
dwindling number of effective antibiotics available. Thus, the development of novel …

The development of resistance against antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections along
with the prevalence of medication residues presents significant public health problems …

The knowledge of biosynthesis gene clusters, production improving methods, and bioactivity
mechanisms is very important for the development of filamentous fungi metabolites …

Red yeasts, particularly from the Rhodotorula genus, have garnered significant interest as
valuable sources of metabolites with diverse natural biological activities. Their exceptional …

methylsalicylic acid (6-MSA) is a small, simple polyketide produced by a broad spectrum of
fungal species. Since fungi obtained the ability to synthesize 6-MSA from bacteria through a …

Many microbes attach to surfaces and produce a complex matrix of polymers surrounding
their cells, forming a biofilm. In biofilms, microbes are much better protected against hostile …

Bacterial degradation mechanism for high chlorinated pentachlorobiphenyl (PentaCB) with
worse biodegradability has not been fully elucidated, which could limit the full remediation of …

The introduction of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections either by killing or blocking their
growth has been accompanied by the studies of mechanism that allows the drugs to kill the …

Living organisms have developed specific defence mechanisms to counteract hostile
environmental conditions. Alkylation stress response mechanisms also occur in …
