Most Actinobacteria produce mycothiol as the major thiol. In addition to mycothiol Rhodococcus AD45 generates a substantial level of glutathione possibly using genes acquired in a lateral transfer. Instead of mycothiol, Rubrobacter radiotolerans and Rubrobacter xylanophilus produce glutathione, whose synthesis appears to involve enzymes substantially different from those in other organisms.

Nitroaromatics, as an important member and source of nitrogen-containing aromatics, is bringing enormous economic benefits in fields of pharmaceuticals, dyes, pesticides, functional materials, fertilizers, and explosives. Nonetheless, the notoriously polluting nitration industry, which suffers from excessive discharge of fumes and waste acids, poor functional group tolerance, and tremendous purification difficulty, renders mild, efficient, and environmentally friendly nitration a formidable challenge. Herein, we develop a visible-light-driven biocompatible arene C-H nitration strategy with good efficiency and regioselectivity, marvelous substrate applicability and functional group tolerance, and wide application in scale-up synthesis, total synthesis, and late-stage functionalization.

A cough that persists for more than 8 weeks is defined as a chronic cough. In routine practice, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and postnasal drip are the most common causes of chronic cough. A 58-year-old non-smoking male patient with no known comorbidities presented with a 3-month history of non-productive cough.

Streptococcus suis is a porcine pathogen that causes severe zoonotic infections in humans resulting in meningitis and sepsis. The main risk factors for S. suis zoonotic infections are consumption of raw pork products and direct contact with live pigs or pork, in particular in the presence of skin injuries.

Nine new structurally diverse filicinic acid-based meroterpenoids (-) with four kinds of carbon skeletons were isolated from the rhizomes of . Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated by comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data, quantum chemical calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structurally, compounds - feature an unprecedented 6/6/5/6/6/6 hexacyclic system with a rare oxaspiro[4.

During the isolation, identification, and assessment of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) against nematodes, we discovered an unusual fungus in decaying wood from Morelos State, Mexico. This isolate exhibited some characteristics similar to those of the genus; however, we found that it did not match any previously reported species within this genus after conducting morphological and phylogenetic analyses using the ITS, TEF, and RPB2 regions. This new species displays conidiophores with two or three stems emerging from the same initial site and conidiophores with only a single stem and aerial thickened hyphae from which single conidiophores emerge, forming 3D adhesive nets.
