Myxobacteria: natural pharmaceutical factories [PDF]
Microbial Cell Factories, 2012 Abstract Myxobacteria are amongst the top producers of natural products. The diversity and unique structural properties of their secondary metabolites is what make these social microbes highly attractive for drug discovery. Screening of products derived from these bacteria has revealed a puzzling amount of hits against infectious and non ...
