This study determines the structure of the antifungal compound AFC and revises its biosynthetic pathway, showing it is derived from cis-vaccenic acid via ω-modification rather than citric acid conjugation.

The paper investigates a gene cluster that produces both enantiomerically pure and racemic metabolites through a stereodivergent pathway involving a dihydrosydnone N-oxide intermediate.

The paper identifies a single Microcoleus species, Microcoleus anatoxicus, as the cause of benthic cyanotoxic blooms in multiple regions worldwide.

This study designs and synthesizes leudiazen analogs that inhibit Pseudomonas syringae virulence without killing the bacteria, reducing resistance risk.

The paper develops a cell surface display system in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by identifying functional anchoring points for protein expression on the cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall.
