Role of a FAD-dependent monooxygenase in diazo group functionalization of kinamycin in Streptomyces ambofaciens
Kinamycin biosynthesis is a complex process that has been extensively studied over the years, yet specific enzymatic steps continue to be unveiled. A diazo group present in the molecule is responsible...

Bacteria–phage (co)evolution is constrained in a synthetic community across multiple bacteria–phage pairs
Bacteriophages can be important drivers of bacterial densities and, therefore, microbial community composition and function. These ecological interactions are likely to be greatly affected by evolutio...

Pharmaco-psychiatry and gut microbiome: a systematic review of effects of psychotropic drugs for bipolar disorder
Despite being one of the most common and debilitating mood disorders, bipolar disorder is often misdiagnosed and undertreated. Its pathogenesis is complex, with significant patient variability and inc...
