Munnoch John T, Hoskisson Paul A
Abstract excerpt
Members of the genus Streptomyces are prolific producers of antibiotics and bioactive natural products, whose biosynthesis is intricately linked to complex social and ecological interactions. Understanding how these bacteria adaptively regulate development and natural product biosynthesis in response to diverse environmental cues remains incomplete. Here, recent advances are synthesised revealing that phenotypic...
