Covering: 1988 to 2012 This review presents recommended nomenclature for the
biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) …

▪ Abstract Since the delineation of 12 bacterial phyla by comparative phylogenetic analyses
of 16S ribosomal RNA in 1987 knowledge of microbial diversity has expanded dramatically …

The sterile womb paradigm is an enduring premise in biology that human infants are born
sterile. Recent studies suggest that infants incorporate an initial microbiome before birth and …

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are early-diverging metazoa renowned for establishing complex
microbial symbioses. Here we present a global Porifera microbiome survey, set out to …

Marine sponges often contain diverse and abundant microbial communities, including
bacteria, archaea, microalgae, and fungi. In some cases, these microbial associates …

Bacteria are an important part of every ecosystem that they inhabit on Earth. Environmental
microbiologists usually focus on a few dominant bacterial groups, neglecting less abundant …

Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) often contain dense and diverse microbial communities,
which can constitute up to 35% of the sponge biomass. The genome of one sponge …

Cultivated bacteria such as actinomycetes are a highly useful source of biomedically
important natural products. However, such 'talented'producers represent only a minute …

Marine sponges belonging to the phylum Porifera (Metazoa), evolutionarily the oldest
animals are the single best source of marine natural products. The present review presents …

Covering: 2006 to mid-2010 Marine-derived fungi continue to produce structurally unique
secondary metabolites, a considerable number of which display promising biological and …
