Abstract:Microbial sources of natural products are increasingly valued for their chemical diversity and access to biosynthetic pathways. It appears that an incredible repository of untapped microbial life and associated chemical diversity remain to be exploited. Molecular techniques such as “metagenomics” are beginning to provide access to cryptic biosynthetic pathways, which are also revealing new chemistry. Refined libraries of natural products with well‐characterized components provide enhanced value as screening so… Show more
