Postbiotics, derived from beneficial microbes, improve gut health by enhancing barrier function and immune responses, ...

Structural and functional analyses identify a new family of bifunctional cell-wall-targeting type VI secretion system (T6SS) effectors and a surface-charge-engineering strategy that expands T6SS ...

This Research Topic (RT) entitled “Bacteriocins and Ribosomally Synthesised Post-Translationally modified Peptides (RiPPs) as modulators of the microbiome” focussed on various aspects of these ...

The leucine-rich repeat (LRR) motif is evolutionarily conserved in many pattern recognition receptors. Compared to the reported LRR proteins with multiple functional domains, the role of LRR-only ...

The peptidoglycan cell wall is a predominant structure of bacteria, determining cell shape and supporting survival in diverse conditions. Peptidoglycan is dynamic and requires regulated synthesis of ...
