We are happy to share a new preprint: After years of searching, we discovered that a lanthipeptide from the symbiotic cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme forms covalent oligomers. Even more remarkable, it promotes the intimate interaction with its host Blasia pusilla. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

An Oligomeric Lanthipeptide from Nostoc punctiforme Promotes Host Association During Early Symbiosis with Blasia pusilla

Nitrogen-fixing Nostoc species form symbiotic relationships with diverse plants, yet the role of specialized metabolites in these interactions remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a previously...
