Abstract
Specialized Bioactive Microbial Metabolites: From Gene to Product.
Highlights
This special issue includes five papers addressing diverse aspects related to the understanding and eventually facing the current bottlenecks in the process of microbial product discovery and development
Over the past 30 years, natural products or their derivatives have accounted for 60% of new anticancer agents and almost 75% of all new antibacterial molecules
Microorganisms are one of the most prolific sources among living organisms for the production of bioactive molecules. Exploitation of their specialized metabolism has guaranteed for decades the discovery of novel antibiotics and other compounds with unprecedented chemical characteristics and biological properties not existing in screening libraries of synthetic compounds
Summary
This special issue includes five papers (three reviews and two research papers) addressing diverse aspects related to the understanding and eventually facing the current bottlenecks in the process of microbial product discovery and development.
