Just out now: wonderful work from our lab by lead author Viktoriia Savchenko expanding our knowledge of the diversity of bacteria involved in quinolone biosynthesis, with a newcomer to the family of quinolone producers. #CoE7 @univie.ac.at @cemess.bsky.social #ChemBio

Chitinivorax: The New Kid on the Block of Bacterial 2-Alkyl-4(1H)-quinolone Producers
2-Alkyl-4(1H)-quinolones play a key role in bacterial communication, regulating biofilm formation, and virulence. Their antimicrobial properties also support bacterial survival and interspecies competition in microbial communities. In addition to the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa various species of Burkholderia and Pseudoalteromonas are known to produce 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolones. However, the evolutionary relationships of their biosynthetic gene clusters remain largely unexplored. To address this, we investigated the phylogeny of 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolone biosynthetic gene clusters, leading to the discovery of Chitinivorax as a fourth genus capable of producing 2-alkyl-4(1H)-quinolones, expanding our knowledge of the diversity of bacteria involved in quinolone-biosynthesis.

the way JBMod Android Syzzlackorian Game-palace speaks reminds me so much of Spamton tbh… he is an Interesting Fellow.
Also happy 20th anniversary JBMod 👍
