TL;DR: AntiSMASH 5 adds detection rules for clusters encoding the biosynthesis of acyl-amino acids, β-lactones, fungal RiPPs, RaS-Ri PPs, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, C-nucleosides, PPY-like ketones and lipolanthines and provides more detailed predictions for type II polyketide synthase-encoding gene clusters.

TL;DR: AntiSMASH as mentioned in this paper is a web server and stand-alone tool for the automatic genomic identification and analysis of biosynthetic gene clusters, available at http://antismash.org.

TL;DR: This work engineered the E. coli host to enhance anaerobic operation of the oxidative tricarboxylic acid cycle, thereby generating reducing power to drive the BDO pathway, leading to a strain of Escherichia coli capable of producing 18 g l(-1) of this highly reduced, non-natural chemical.

TL;DR: The thoroughly updated antiSMASH version 4 is presented, which adds several novel features, including prediction of gene cluster boundaries using the ClusterFinder method or the newly integrated CASSIS algorithm, improved substrate specificity prediction for non-ribosomal peptide synthetase adenylation domains based on the new SANDPUMA algorithm, and several usability features have been updated and improved.

TL;DR: This article reviews biotechnological production of butanol by clostridia and some relevant fermentation and downstream processes and the strategies for strain improvement by metabolic engineering and further requirements to make fermentative butanol production a successful industrial process.
