Culture-independent discovery of the malacidins as calcium-dependent antibiotics with activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens
Analysis of secondary metabolite biosynthesis clusters from diverse soil samples identifies a distinct class of calcium-dependent antibiotics—the malacidins—that bind lipid II and are active against multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens.

Phylogenetic analyses of aligned ITS 2/partial LSU rDNA, partial β-tubulin and partial actin DNA sequences demonstrate that O. radiaticola is a phylogenetically distinct species most closely related to O. cainii and O. galeiformis, with which it shares many morphological characters.
The Characteristics of Cultural Conditions for the Mycelial Growth of Macrolepiota procera
Macrolepiota procera, one of edible mushrooms belongs to Agaricaceae of Basidiomycota, has a good taste and good medicinal value and showed the rapid mycelial growth in the PDA media.
