The ability to correlate the production of specialized metabolites genetic capacity organism that produces such molecules has become an invaluable tool in aiding discovery biotechnologically applicable molecules. Here, we accomplish this task by matching molecular families with gene cluster families, making these correlations 60 microbes at one time instead connecting molecule a time, as how it is traditionally done. We can through use nanospray desorption electrospray ionization MS/MS,...

Coral reefs are intricate ecosystems that harbor diverse organisms, including 25% of all marine fish. Healthy corals exhibit a complex symbiosis between coral polyps, endosymbiotic alga, and an array microorganisms, called the holobiont. Secretion specialized metabolites by microbiota is thought to contribute defense this sessile organism against harmful biotic abiotic factors. While few causative agents diseases have been unequivocally identified, fungi implicated in massive destruction...

The present research aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by octocoral-associated bacteria Bacillus sp. BO53 and Pseudoalteromonas GA327. volatilome bioactivity both species was evaluated against human pathogenic antibiotic-resistant bacteria, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumanni, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this regard, in vitro tests showed that VOCs inhibited growth P. aeruginosa reduced S. aureus A....

Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of marine bacteria often found in association with other organisms. Although several studies have examined diversity and their antimicrobial activity, its tropical environments largely unexplored. We investigated the Panama using multilocus phylogenetic approach. Furthermore we tested capacity evaluated effect recombination mutation shaping relationships. The reconstruction clonal relationships among 78 strains including 15 reference species revealed 43 lineages,...

The marine bacterial genus Pseudoalteromonas is known for their ability to produce antimicrobial compounds. metabolite-producing capacity of has been associated with strain pigmentation; however, the genomic basis remains be explained. In this study, we sequenced whole genome six strains (three pigmented and three non-pigmented), purpose identifying biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) compounds detected via microbial interactions along through MS-based molecular networking. genomes were...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was the causative agent of disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. While research on COVID-19 has mainly focused its epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment, studies naso-oropharyngeal microbiota have emerged in last few years as an overlooked area research. Here, we analyzed bacterial community composition naso-oropharynx 50 suspected SARS-CoV-2 cases (43 detected, 7 not detected) from Veraguas province (Panama) distributed across...
