Our review on the biosynthesis of fungal maleidrides is out now in @NatProdReports. Read it for a comprehensive overview of the chemical, in vivo, in vitro and in silico analyses conducted on these compounds and their biosynthetic pathways. https://t.co/YUCyHOuJId

[Serina Robinson @serina_robinson]

Overjoyed to share our work now out in @Nature - massive biosynthetic diversity of the open ocean and new RiPP enzymes brought to you by the incomparable @Lcs_Paoli and team: @SunagawaLab, @piel_lab esp. @HubrichFlorian, @satriaphd, and many more ❤️🎉https://t.co/lewfk3waM3

Finally published! The wollamides and desotamides provide a unique insight in to NRPS evolution. Huge thanks to all involved, especially @barriewilksjic for giving me the opportunity all that time ago! Summary thread to come. @NatureComms @JohnInnesCentre

I'm quite excited about this new Nature Journal!

[Nature Water @NatureWaterJnl]

What will Nature Water be about? We have prepared a collection of articles from @NaturePortfolio to illustrate the areas (or at least some of them) that we'll cover. Enjoy!

Congratulations on another great paper from @MatsudaLab and collaborators! After nearly a century of research on this family of compounds, our understanding of xanthone biosynthesis is coming on leaps and bounds...

[Yudai Matsuda @ CityUHK @MatsudaLab]

Our collaboration work with Prof. Abe and Dr. Mori at Univ. of Tokyo is now out in @angew_chem. We provide a detailed characterization of the tetrahydroxanthone-forming enzyme! https://t.co/KID77Dm2kc

[Katherine Williams @kw2990]

Our review on the core steps to the azaphilone family of fungal natural products has just been published in @ChemBioChem. We use the fantastic bioinformatic tools developed by @clmgilchrist to identify potential unexplored genetic and chemical space: https://t.co/bg9lVdtSpZ

[Marnix Medema @marnixmedema]

Really excited that our review in @NatureRevGenet is out: https://t.co/8vcLPgxSXv. Mining genomes across the tree of life. Was great fun writing this with @Tristan_enzymes and @BradMoore_SIO !
