With an ever-increasing amount of (meta)genomic data being deposited in sequence databases,
(meta)genome mining for natural product biosynthetic pathways occupies a critical role …

Bacterial diversity from McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica, the coldest desert on earth, has
become more easily assessed with the development of High Throughput Sequencing (HTS) …

Marine biofilms are known to influence the corrosion of metal surfaces in the marine
environment. Despite some recent research, the succession of bacterial communities colonizing …

Terpenes, a large family of natural products with important applications, are commonly
associated with plants and fungi. The diterpenoids dehydroabietic and abietic acids are defense …

Bacterial natural products (NPs) are still a major source of new drug leads. Polyketides (PKs)
and non-ribosomal peptides (NRP) are two pharmaceutically important families of NPs and …

This study focused on the association between physical activity in the second trimester of
pregnancy and adverse perinatal outcomes: low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth (PTB), and …

Background Delirium is an underdiagnosed condition and this may be related, among other
causes, to the incorrect use of assessment tools due to lack of knowledge about cognitive …

Polyketide synthases (PKSs) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are mega
enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of a large fraction of natural products (NPs). …

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intrarater and interrater reliability of
the 2-minute step test (2MST) in active and sedentary lean adults and to identify the test …

INTRODUCTION: Congenital syphilis is considered a severe public health problem because
it accounts for approximately 40% of the perinatal mortality rates, 25% of stillbirths, and 14…
