Discovery and Biosynthesis of the Cytotoxic Polyene Terpenomycin in Human Pathogenic Nocardia

Abstract excerpt

Nocardia are opportunistic human pathogens that can cause a range of debilitating and difficult to treat infections of the lungs, brain, skin, and soft tissues. Despite their close relationship to the well-known secondary metabolite-producing genus, Streptomyces, comparatively few natural products are known from the Nocardia, and even less is known about their involvement in the pathogenesis. Here, we combine...
