Stick tool use by chimpanzees in a forest fragment in Uganda’s Budongo-Bugoma corridor: Preliminary observations from Kasongoire (2019)
Journal Article
Oxley, A., & Jovan, B. K. (2019). Stick tool use by chimpanzees in a forest fragment in Uganda’s Budongo-Bugoma corridor: Preliminary observations from Kasongoire. Revue de primatologie, 10, https://doi.org/10.4000/primatologie.6426

Chimpanzees are well-known tool users, with differences reported in the tool use repertoires among communities and subspecies. Chimpanzees at most study sites exhibit some degree of stick tool use behaviour for extractive foraging, with the exception...

The biogenetic origin of the biologically active Naematolin of Hypholoma species involves an unusual sesquiterpene synthase (2019)
Journal Article
Al-Salihi, S. A. A., Dao, T. T., Williams, K., Bailey, A. M., & Foster, G. D. (2019). The biogenetic origin of the biologically active Naematolin of Hypholoma species involves an unusual sesquiterpene synthase. Molecular Biotechnology, 61(10), 754-762. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12033-019-00199-x

Naematolin is a biologically active sesquiterpene produced by Hypholoma species. Low titres and complex structure constrain the exploitation of this secondary metabolite. Here, we de novo sequenced the H. fasciculare genome to identify a candidate bi...

Genome sequence of Lecanicillium fungicola 150-1, the causal agent of dry bubble disease (2019)
Journal Article
Banks, A. M., Aminuddin, F., Williams, K., Batstone, T., Barker, G. L. A., Foster, G. D., & Bailey, A. M. (2019). Genome sequence of Lecanicillium fungicola 150-1, the causal agent of dry bubble disease. Microbiology Resource Announcements, 8(19), https://doi.org/10.1128/MRA.00340-19

The fungus Lecanicillium fungicola causes dry bubble disease in the white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus. Control strategies are limited, as both the host and pathogen are fungi, and there is limited understanding of the interactions in this patho...

Rapid activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition drives PARP inhibitor resistance in Brca2-mutant mammary tumours (2019)
Journal Article
Ordonez, L. D., Hay, T., McEwen, R., Polanska, U. M., Hughes, A., Delpuech, O., …Smalley, M. J. (2019). Rapid activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition drives PARP inhibitor resistance in Brca2-mutant mammary tumours. Oncotarget, 10(27), 2586-2606. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.26830

Tumours defective in the DNA homologous recombination repair pathway can be effectively treated with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors; these have proven effective in clinical trials in patients with BRCA gene function-defective cancers....

Journal Article
Dao, T. T., Williams, K., De Mattos-Shipley, K. M., Song, Z., Takebayashi, Y., Simpson, T. J., …Willis, C. L. (2022). Cladobotric acids: Metabolites from cultures of Cladobotryum sp., Semisynthetic analogues and antibacterial activity. Journal of Natural Products, 85(3), 572-580. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jnatprod.1c01063

Three new polyketide-derived natural products, cladobotric acids G-I (1-3), and six known metabolites (4, 5, 8-11) were isolated from fermentation of the fungus Cladobotryum sp. grown on rice. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscop... Read More about Cladobotric acids: Metabolites from cultures of Cladobotryum sp., Semisynthetic analogues and antibacterial activity.
