This study shows Streptomyces bacteria prey on yeast by producing lytic enzymes and natural products, revealing a new ecological role for these microbes.

This paper develops a single-cell sorting method to enhance metabolic engineering in actinomycetes by selecting high-performing mutants for drug discovery and industrial enzyme production.

The paper engineers anthracycline methyltransferases by combining regions from four subfamilies to expand their catalytic capabilities and understand factors influencing substrate specificity and reaction outcomes.
