TL;DR: The study revealed that phenolic acids in the root secretion of P. heterophylla increased long with its development, which was closely related to changes in rhizospheric microorganisms.

TL;DR: The results suggested that structure dynamics of Rhizosphere microbial communities were mediated by the richness of replanted P. heterophylla, and thus the replant disease result from the imbalanced microbial structure with a higher ratio of pathogens/beneficial bacteria in rhizosphere soil under monocropping regimes.

TL;DR: This review has summarized genome mining approaches used to analyze key enzymes of biosynthetic pathways and predict the chemical structure of new gene clusters by introducing successful stories that used genome mining strategy to identify new marine-derived compounds.

TL;DR: An investigation on the intrinsic reactivity of the tryptophanyl radical is reported using a chemical model study and DFT calculations and highlights the remarkable role this enzyme plays in achieving an energetically highly unfavorable transformation.

TL;DR: In this paper , the genes required for producing aminomethylphosphonate (AMP), one of the intermediates in the biosynthesis of the potent antibiotics argolaphos, were characterized.
