Abstract Background Fungal-based composites have emerged as renewable, high-performance biomaterials that are produced on lignocellulosic residual streams from forestry and agriculture. Production at an industrial scale promises to revolutionize the world humans inhabit by generating sustainable, low emission, non-toxic biodegradable construction, packaging, textile, other materials. The polypore Fomes fomentarius is one of basidiomycete species used for biomaterial production, yet nothing...
Actinobacteria is an ancient phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with a characteristic high GC content to their DNA. The ActinoBase Wiki focused on the filamentous actinobacteria, such as Streptomyces species, and techniques growth conditions used study them. These organisms are studied because complex developmental life cycles diverse specialised metabolism which produces many antibiotics currently in clinic. community effort that provides valuable freely accessible resources, including...
Abstract Actinobacteria are a large and diverse phylum of bacteria that contains medically ecologically relevant organisms. Many members valuable sources bioactive natural products chemical precursors exploited in the clinic. These made using enzyme pathways encoded their complex genomes. Whilst number sequenced genomes has increased rapidly last twenty years, size complexity many Actinobacterial means sequences remain incomplete consist numbers contigs with poor annotation, which hinders...

The genus Streptomyces is comprised of soil-dwelling Gram-positive Actinobacteria that are widely used for the industrial production antibiotics. S. clavuligerus clavulanic acid, which a potent b-lactamase inhibitor, and is, therefore, able to restore sensitivity b-lactamase-producing bacteria penicillins cephalosporins. In fermentations, carbon sources available utilisation by producing organism have profoundly impact central specialised metabolic pathways. We long-term goal using from food...
