SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Oct. 18, 2024 – Scientists at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) have developed genetic engineering tools to better understand the role of actinobacteria in ...

Researchers are screening actinobacteria found in Arctic Sea invertebrates to find potential antibiotic candidates. A collaboration between the University of Helsinki (Finland) and The Arctic ...

Actinobacteria, particularly the Streptomyces genus, are renowned for their prolific production of natural products that have transformative impacts on medicine and agriculture. These metabolites, ...

Heptose moieties not only act as building blocks of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and capsular polysaccharides (CPSs), which are important for the infection, colonization, and immune recognition of ...

Scientists at the University of Helsinki have used a screening technology that can test for the antivirulence and antibacterial effect of hundreds of unknown compounds simultaneously, to identify ...

Antibiotics are the linchpin of modern medicine: without them, anyone with open wounds or needing to undergo surgery would be at constant risk of dangerous infections. Yet we continue to face a global ...

The researchers suggest that the actinobacteria community they discovered might have colonized the soil at the ‘early’ date before being buried under the playa deposits. That might mean a previously ...
