Antimicrobial peptides act as a host defense mechanism and regulate the commensal microbiome. To obtain a comprehensive view of genes contributing to long-term memory we performed mRNA sequencing from single Drosophila heads following behavioral training that produces long-lasting memory.

High-throughput screening is a powerful tool for discovering strains in the natural environment that may be suitable for target production. Herein, a novel enzyme-based high-throughput screening method was developed for rapid screening of strains overproducing 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2-KLG). The screening
