This study identifies a host shift as the origin of tomato bacterial canker caused by Clavibacter michiganensis through genomic and phylogenetic analysis of isolates from wild and commercial tomato cultivars.

This study identifies a core gut microbiome in cycad-feeding insects and characterizes keystone bacteria with biosynthetic potential for detoxifying cycad toxins.

The paper identifies convergent evolution in Streptomyces protease inhibitors, showing two distinct biosynthetic pathways producing similar compounds through different mechanisms.

The paper introduces ActDES, a curated database of 612 high-quality actinobacterial genomes, to facilitate evolutionary and metabolic studies.

This study characterizes the bacterial diversity in coralloid roots of seven Dioon species and their surrounding environments, revealing shared and distinct microbial communities.

The paper shows that gene family expansions in central carbon metabolism in Streptomyces bacteria contribute to metabolic robustness needed for antibiotic biosynthesis.
