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 …

Here, we report the isolation and characterization of three new spirocyclic natural products
named cladosporicin A (1), cladosporiumins I (2) and J (3) from the fungus Cladosporium …

Morphotype switches frequently occur in Actinobacteria and are often associated with
disparate natural product production. Here, we report on differences in the secondary …

Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to profile the associated bacterial community
of the marine hydroid Hydractinia echinata, a long-standing model system in developmental …

Five hybrid polyketides (1a, 1b, and 2–4) containing tetramic acid core including a new
hybrid polyketide, cladosin L (1), were isolated from the marine fungus Cladosporium …

To gain a broader understanding of the importance of a surface-associated lifestyle and
morphogenic capability, we have assembled and annotated the genome sequences of …

The genomes of three Pseudoalteromonas strains (P1-8, P1-11, and P1-30) were sequenced
and assembled. These genomes will inform future study of the genes responsible for the …
