Myxobacterial secondary metabolites: bioactivities and modes-of-action

Year: 2010

Type: review

Abstract: Covering: up to 2010 The myxobacteria, long a source of fascination due to their sophisticated, social lifestyles, are now increasingly recognized as multi-producers of promising natural products. Here we provide an overview of the bioactivities and modes-of-action of these secondary metabolites, with an emphasis on potential clinical applications.
