Polycyclic tetramate macrolactam genes are common in Streptomyces. But don't confuse that with boring. Check out our recent work if you are interested in orphan genes, BGC mosaicism, and lingering challenges in translating genes to molecules journals.asm.org/doi/full/10…
Kudos to undergraduate @ActinoLab member @grace_dekoker for publishing her public-facing summary of pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.21… on @sciencebreaker @WUSTLBio #SciComm #OpenScience
Ever wondered where drugs come from? 🤔 Discover how rare soil #bacteria could hold the key to new treatments for diseases like #cancer! 🔬

What is that earthy smell following a rainstorm? #TIL it's caused by the odorous terpene geosmin, which acts as a warning aposematic signal indicating unpalatability & reducing predation on the microbes that produce it. Thanks @Concordia! @AppEnvMicro journals.asm.org/stoken/defa…

UIC is looking for a postdoc candidate in natural products that we can hire ASAP and transition to faculty here. Starting pd pay is 75K. Emphasis on attracting scientists from underrepresented backgrounds. Please pass this along to a talented NP scientist! jobs.uic.edu/job-board/job-d…
20% of the globe suffers from a Neglected Tropical Disease. This weekend marked World NTD Day.
It's never too late to spread the word, raise awareness, and #EndTheNeglect.

If you can't keep your plates clean, just work with Physcomitrella.. apparently, fungi are scared of it😀 (Anthoceros on the left, Physco on the right).
Interested in learning about a P450 that likes to oxidatively misbehave? Congrats to authors in this collaborative work w/ T. Wencewicz group.
