This study identifies cyclic lipodepsipeptides as the molecular basis of haemolytic activity in Chromobacterium haemolyticum and shows their role in biofilm formation and swarming.

This study identifies synthetic peptide mimics that kill Candida albicans and synergize with caspofungin to prevent infection, showing efficacy in vitro and in vivo without resistance development.

This study identifies BasR as a regulatory node mediating bacterial-induced chromatin modifications and activation of secondary metabolism in fungi.
