This study identifies naphthocyclinones as antibiotics produced by Streptomyces hederae in wild bee nests, mediating bacterial competition and showing potential against Paenibacillus larvae.

The paper introduces the StrainDiscoveryDatabase (SDD), a unified microbial strain dataset that resolves data fragmentation and synonymy to support AI-driven bioindustrial applications.

The paper analyzes genomic signatures in Trichosporonales fungi to link tRNA composition and translation efficiency with lifestyle transitions and virulence.

This study describes six new Cryptococcus species using genomic and phenotypic data, revealing ecological associations, chromosomal variation, and metabolic differences across the genus.

The paper traces the evolution of mating-type loci in Cryptococcus and related species, revealing genomic dynamics like locus expansions, GC-content changes, and linkage transitions.

The paper compares the genomes of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Cryptococcus species with related Kwoniella species, revealing gene gains/losses and chromosome fusion mechanisms linked to pathogenesis.
