Sulfangolids are the first sulfate ester containing secondary metabolites from myxobacteria. The metabolites 1-4 and the structurally related kulkenon (5) were isolated from different strains of the species Sorangium cellulosum. In the course of isolation all metabolites proved to be rather sensitive due to their conjugated double bond systems and the strong acidic nature of the sulfate ester in sulfangolids. The relative configuration of sulfangolid C (3) was assigned by extensive 1D and 2D NMR analysis and molecular modelling. In addition, the biosynthesis of 3 was studied by feeding experiments.

Resolvin E series (Rvs), such as RvE4 (5S,15S-dihydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid) and its stereoselective enantiomer (5R,15R-dihydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid), play an important role in promoting the resolution of inflammation and are derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) by M2 macrophage in human. However, they have been synthesized using expensive and inefficient chemical methods. Here, we performed efficient quantitative production of RvE4 and its enantiomer from EPA using Escherichia coli expressing double-dioxygenating 15S-lipoxygenase (15S-LOX) from Archangium violaceum and double-dioxygenating 15R-LOX from Sorangium cellulosum, respectively, with solvent, polymer, and adsorbent resin.

The human gut is the most favorable niche for microbial populations, and few studies have explored the possibilities of horizontal gene transfer between host and pathogen. Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansion in humans can cause more than 40 neurodegenerative diseases. Further, TNRs are a type of microsatellite that resides on coding regions can contribute to the synthesis of homopolymeric amino acids.

Their unusual structures include a trisubstituted cyclopropyl group and two oxygen heterocycles, a tetrahydropyran (THP) and dihydropyran (DHP). Herein we report a flexible modular approach for the total synthesis of ambruticins which is used to prepare ambruticins F and S as well as in the first total synthesis of 20,21-dihydroambruticin F.

Microorganisms are remarkable chemists capable of assembling complex molecular architectures that penetrate cells and bind biomolecular targets with exquisite selectivity. Consequently, microbial natural products have wide-ranging applications in medicine and agriculture. How the "blind watchmaker" of evolution creates skeletal diversity is a key question in natural products research.

Microorganisms are important sources of lipolytic enzymes with characteristics for wide promising usages in the specific industrial biotechnology. The cellulolytic myxobacterium is rich of lipolytic enzymes in the genome, but little has been investigated. Here, we discerned 406 potential lipolytic enzymes in 13 sequenced genomes.
