Total biosynthesis of opiates by stepwise fermentation using engineered Escherichia coli

TLDR
It is demonstrated that Escherichia coli serves as an efficient, robust and flexible platform for total opiate synthesis and the biosynthesis of hydrocodone, a clinically important opioid, by adding two genes to the thebaine production system.

Structure of lactacystin, a new microbial metabolite which induces differentiation of neuroblastoma cells.

TLDR
The structure elucidation of lactacystin by NMRspectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses is reported, which causes a transient increase of the intracellular CAMPlevel in Neuro 2A cells and morphological changes including neuritogenesis.
