Discovery and biosynthesis of specialized metabolites produced by an indigenous streptomyces strain

Microbial natural product discovery was revitalized in recent years driven by the discovery of cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways. For my Ph.D. study, I focused on the quarry lake-dwelling Streptomyces tasikensis P46 strain for natural product discovery. My research led to the discov...
