Using cells as microbial factories enables highly specific production of chemicals with many advantages over chemical syntheses. A number of exciting new applications of this approach are in the area of precision metabolic engineering, which focuses on improving the specificity of target production....

Neurotransmitters have been well-documented to determine immune cell fates; however, whether and how γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) shapes the function of innate immune cells is still obscure. Here, we demonstrated that GABA orchestrates macrophage maturation and inflammation. GABA treatment during mac...

Gut microbes have been recognized to convert the human bile acids by deconjugation, dehydroxylation, dehydrogenation and epimerization of the cholesterol core, but the ability to re-conjugate them with amino acids as an additional conversion has only been recently described. These new bile acids ...

Under favorable conditions, the micro-crustacean Daphnia pulex produces female offspring by parthenogenesis, whereas in response to various unfavorable external cues, they produce male offspring to induce sexual reproduction (environmental sex determination: ESD). We recently established a suitable ...

Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) encoding the production of bacteriocins are widespread among bacterial isolates and are important genetic determinants of competitive fitness within a given habitat. Staphylococci produce a tremendous diversity of compounds, and the corresponding BGCs are frequen...

Bibenzyls are a specialized metabolite class found throughout the plant kingdom. One of the most prolific producers of bibenzyls are liverworts, specifically plants of the Radula genera. These plants possess an incredible diversity of bibenzyls, prenylated bibenzyls and a few (bis)bibenz...

Chassis strain suitable for producing multiple compounds is a central concept in synthetic biology. Design of a chassis using computational, first-principle, models is particularly attractive due to the predictability and control it offers, including against phenotype reversal due to adaptive mut...

Microbial alteration and remineralization of organic matter in the ocean play essential roles in the carbon cycle. The impact of individual compounds as either growth substrates or infochemicals is still poorly constrained in models, particularly for organisms with relatively versatile genomes. Here...
