Filamentous fungi from extreme environments as a promising source of novel bioactive secondary metabolites

Filamentous fungi from extreme environments as a promising source of novel bioactive secondary metabolites

Natural product search is undergoing resurgence upon the discovery of a huge previously unknown potential for secondary metabolite (SM) production hidden in microbial genomes. This is also the case for filamentous fungi, since their genomes contain a high number of orphan SM gene clusters. Recent es...
