Actinomycetes are a diverse family of filamentous bacteria that produce a plethora of natural
products relevant for agriculture, biotechnology and medicine, including the majority of the …

Covering: through 2014 Many organisms team up with microbes for defense against
predators, parasites, parasitoids, or pathogens. Here we review the described protective …

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis and few novel antimicrobials have been
discovered in recent decades. Natural products, particularly from Streptomyces, are the …

Covering: up to 2022 Streptomyces are ubiquitous in terrestrial and marine environments,
where they display a fascinating metabolic diversity. As a result, these bacteria are a prolific …

Insects cope with environmental threats using a broad array of strategies. A key strategy,
widespread among insects but unappreciated until recently, is the use of molecular …

Although mass spectrometry is a century old technology, we are entering into an exciting
time for the analysis of molecular information directly from complex biological systems. In …

Symbiotic interactions between insects and microorganisms are widespread in nature and
are often the source of ecological innovations. In addition to supplementing their host with …

Bioassay-guided metabolomic analyses led to the characterization of four new 20-
membered glycosylated polyketide macrolactams, macrotermycins A–D, from a termite …

Here we review discoveries of secondary metabolites from microbes associated with insects.
We mainly focus on natural products, where the ecological role has been at least partially …

We report a preliminary functional and complete structural characterization of a highly
unusual geldanamycin analog, natalamycin A, that was isolated from Streptomyces strain …
