The paper identifies bacterial acyl amides, called stripteamides, as signals controlling nematode development in the Steinernema-Xenorhabdus symbiosis.

This paper uses mutasynthesis to generate stambomycin derivatives by engineering a bacterial strain and leveraging a promiscuous acyl transferase domain, resulting in new analogues with similar or reduced bioactivity.

This study identifies and characterizes XrdM, an amide methyltransferase involved in dithiolopyrrolone antibiotic biosynthesis, and shows it is distinct from DtpM in structure and function.
