52 Producer strains over 20,000 microbial metabolites have been described most of the metabolites are produced by either filamentous fungi or filamentous actinomycetes does this reflect superior biosynthetic ability by these strains? are there other microbes capable of producing secondary metabolites?

53 Increasing the odds in P research Increase the number of strains Employ novel assays Utilize novel approaches to strains novel strains metagenomic libraries genome mining

54 pportunities in P research nly a small fraction of the bacterial world has been cultivated Bacteria have had millions of years of evolution to experiment with chemistry to fight competing organisms biodiversity is a necessary requirement to access chemical diversity

55 novel strains from new habitats strains have been screened mostly from terrestrial sources, while marine habitats have been largely neglected marine strains have substantially diverged from terrestrial ones and are likely to produce different compounds

56 abyssomicin searched for compounds active against B. subtilis in MM whose activity could be reverted by paba addition screened a limited number of extracts from marine or rare strains isolated from a marine identified abyssomicin from the marine actinomycete Verrucosispora sp. Riedlinger et al. J Antibiotics 57: , 2004

57 novel strains from soil strains phylogenetically related to known antibiotic producers are likely to possess the same genetic potential for antibiotic production strains not represented in 16 rra databases are unlikely to have been intensively screened in the past search for previously uncultured actinomycetes
