A screening method was established to detect inhibitors of the biosynthetic pathways of
aromatic amino acids and para-aminobenzoic acid, the precursor of folic acid, using an agar …

For many multiresistant Gram-positive bacteria, for example, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus strains (MRSA), vancomycin-or teicoplanin-type glycopeptide antibiotics are the …

The mycorrhiza helper bacterium Streptomyces strain AcH 505 improves mycelial growth of
ectomycorrhizal fungi and formation of ectomycorrhizas between Amanita muscaria and …

A family of three novel aminofuran antibiotics named as proximicins was isolated from the
marine Verrucosispora strain MG-37. Proximicin A was detected in parallel in the marine …

Netropsin (1) and distamycin (2) are naturally occurring gpeptides with antiviral and
antibacterial activity (Figure 1).[1] Netropsin, formerly named congocidine, was isolated from S. …

The rhizosphere, the narrow zone of soil around living roots, is characterized by root exudates
which attract soil microorganisms. Most importantly, certain soil fungi establish symbiotic …

Background: Troponin T is an established marker of myocardial ischemia. We speculated
that the role of the new high-sensitive troponin T (hs-cTnT) might expand towards non-…

Background: As complex disease, heart failure is associated with various pathophysiological
and biochemical disorders. No single biomarker is able to display all these characteristics. …

Piceamycin, a new macrolactam polyketide antibiotic, was detected by HPLC-diode array
screening in extracts of Streptomyces sp. GB 4-2, which was isolated from the …

Background Biomarkers can be subtle tools to aid the diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring
of therapy and disease progression. The validation of biomarkers is a cumbersome process …
