Peptaibiotics: Harnessing the potential of microbial secondary metabolites for mitigation of plant pathogens
Biotechnol Adv. 2023 Aug 1;68:108223. doi: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108223. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAgricultural systems are in need of low-cost, safe antibiotics to protect crops from pests and diseases. Peptaibiotics, a family of linear, membrane-active, amphipathic polypeptides, have been shown to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity, and to be inducers of plant resistance against a wide range of phytopathogens. Peptaibiotics belong to the new generation of alternatives to agrochemicals, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the One Health approach toward ensuring ...

Engineering yeast cell factories to produce biodegradable plastics and their monomers: Current status and prospects
Biotechnol Adv. 2023 Jul 27:108222. doi: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108222. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTraditional plastic products have caused serious environmental pollution due to difficulty to be degraded in the natural environment. In the recent years, biodegradable plastics are receiving increasing attention due to advantages in natural degradability and environmental friendliness. Biodegradable plastics have potential to be used in food, agriculture, industry, medicine and other fields. However, the high production cost of such plastics is the bottleneck that limits their commercialization and application. Yeasts,...
