Identification of Novel Genes Involved in Long-Chain n-Alkane Degradation by Acinetobacter sp. Strain DSM 17874
TLDR
A novel high-throughput screening method and the screening of a transposon mutant library are described to identify genes involved in the degradation of n-alkanes with C chain lengths longer than 20, which are solid at 30°C, the optimal growth temperature for Acinetobacter sp.

Production of a New Thiopeptide Antibiotic, TP-1161, by a Marine Nocardiopsis Species
TLDR
The in vitro antibacterial activity of this thiopeptide, designated TP-1161, against a panel of bacterial strains was determined and structure elucidation revealed this compound to be a new thiOPEptide antibiotic with a rare aminoacetone moiety.

In Vivo Analysis of the Regulatory Genes in the Nystatin Biosynthetic Gene Cluster of Streptomyces noursei ATCC 11455 Reveals Their Differential Control Over Antibiotic Biosynthesis
TLDR
Data from cross-complementation experiments showed that nysR genes could in some cases substitute for each other, suggesting a functional hierarchy of the regulators and implying a cascade-like mechanism of regulation of nystatin biosynthesis.
