Identification of Novel Polysaccharide from Myxococcus xanthus and its Function in Developmental Sporulation

These findings present the first high-resolution structure of a soluble exopolysaccharide from myxobacteria and demonstrate its partial functional compensation of csgA mutant, suggesting that EPS15M may be involved in C‑signal‑mediated developmental sporulation.

Enhanced Endophytic Colonization of Flavobacterium Promotes Plant Resistance to Fusarium Wilt

ABSTRACT Microbial taxa in the soil microbiome with specific ecological functions play crucial roles in plant health. Flavobacterium is found closely associated with physiological functions that promote plant growth and enhance disease resistance. While cooperative interactions mediated by metabolite exchange can stabi...

Optimized Protoplasts Preparation of Fungus Magnaporthe oryzae by Novel Myxolase F Lyase

Rice blast disease is one of most devastating fungal diseases caused by Magnaporthe oryzae. The preparation and transformation of protoplasm are of vital importance for understanding the pathogenic mechanism of M. oryzae and achieving the control of rice blast disease. In this study, we aim to optimize conditions for p...
