Research news
New class of antimicrobials discovered in soil bacteria
[cid:image009.jpg at 01DA9272.EBAAD760]Researchers have discovered toxic protein particles, shaped like umbrellas, that soil bacteria known as Streptomyces secrete to squelch competitors, especially others of their own species. Scientists have mined Streptomyces for antibiotics for nearly a century, but the newly identified umbrella toxin escaped notice.
The discovery of the umbrella toxin particles and related information about their structures, composition and mode of action were published April 17 in Nature<https://go.nature.com/49J3Vs3>.

The study was supported by the Microbial Interactions & Microbiome Center<https://bit.ly/44bPqvG>, directed by Dr. Joseph Mougous, adjunct professor (Gastroenterology) and holder of the Lynn M. and Michael D. Garvey Endowed Chair in Gastroenterology.
