Use of chemical elicitors to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms
Actinomycetes are widely recognized as a highly productive source of antimicrobial natural products. However, discovery of novel compounds was unfavourable due to presence of silent antibiotic-producing gene clusters. This study used chemical elicitors to stimulate cryptic clusters to produce novel...
