Engineered Metarhizium fungi produce longifolene to attract and kill mosquitoes - Nature Microbiology Insects colonized with Metarhizium fungi emit longifolene to lure new hosts for infection to disperse spores. A fungal strain was engineered to emit longifolene to attract and eliminate mosquitoes.

Perspective paper from Brad Moore and Dave Newman “Each time a species goes extinct, so does the knowledge entwined in its genome for how that organism evolved chemical solutions to its specialized lifestyle” #naturalproducts #secmet #specializedmetabolites

Wonderful to have Prof Pieter Dorrestein @pieterdorrestein.bsky.social giving the opening keynote talk of #ISBA2025 on ‘Scaling the discovery of new microbial natural products through data science of unused metabolomics data’ #naturalproducts #specializedmetabolites #secmet

I’ve merged both starter packs - here’s 71 microbial natural products researchers - want to be added? Let me know! go.bsky.app/72NeGsT #microsky #secmet #naturalproducts #specializedmetabolites

Diversification of Lipopeptide Analogues Drives Versatility in Biological Activities Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are potent secondary metabolites with diverse biological functions. Bacillus strains primarily produce CLPs of three key families, namely, iturins, fengycins, and surfactins...
