🤓New insights into biomass utilization: Researchers at @leibniz-hki.de and @mpi-ce.bsky.social I-CE have decoded the structure of the 🟡"Yellow Affinity Substance" from A. thermocellus, a pigment that binds cellulose and could boost biofuel production and antibiotic research.

Pandorae bacteria produce #pandorabactins to steal #iron from other microbes, thus limiting competitors in the diseased lung of patients with cystic fibrosis or sepsis, as we show in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social Int Ed. #NewPaper #NaturalProducts #LeibnizHKI

I'm happy that our latest study has been accepted in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! This work elucidates the final steps of malleicyprol biosynthesis.
A big thank you to all co-authors for their contributions to this project.

Excited to share the second publication of my PhD published in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social! Using chemical synthesis, full in vitro reconstitution and trapping of intermediates, we elucidated the final steps in the biosynthesis of the virulence factor malleicyprol. 🧪

🚨 New dual-use #Jagaricin function uncovered: it drives red blood cell destruction by C. haemolyticum, enabling infections while normally aiding survival via biofilms. A case of accidental virulence, as we show in #mBio. 🔎 doi.org/10.1128/mbio...

Some bacteria use a chemical radar to protect themselves from predators: how this happens, was discovered by #UniJena, @leibniz-hki.de and @unibayreuth.bsky.social with our Cluster of Excellence @microverse.bsky.social, as they reported in "Cell". 🦠

Second publication from my previous work in the Group of Prof. Schofield @ox.ac.uk! We show that silaproline-bearing derivatives of SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors can convalently inhibit Mpro, resulting in viral progression inhibiton in cells. Great work everyone!

I am very excited to share the first work of my PhD published in mBio @asm.org! 🦠🧪 In short, we discovered why the opportunistic human pathogen Chromobacterium haemolyticum is hemolytic - the reason are jagaricins, a family of cyclic lipodepsipeptides! #secmet 1/2 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Fun day with motivated students! 🦠🧪

#AllEyesOn our department Biomolecular Chemistry! We explore bacteria and fungi to study their microbial interactions, discover and identify pharmacologically relevant bioactive compounds or toxins and elucidate their biosynthetic pathways. lmy.de/rBnwi
