Abstract: Abstract Many microbial secondary metabolites have been studied for decades primarily because of their antimicrobial properties. However, several of these metabolites also possess nonantimicrobial functions, both influencing the physiology of the producer and their ecological… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.917969
Abstract: Microbial interactions shape ecosystem diversity and chemistry through production and exchange of organic compounds, but the impact of regulatory mechanisms on production and release of these exometabolites is largely unknown. We studied the extent and… read more here.
