TL;DR: The systematic alteration of easily accessible cultivation parameters in order to increase the number of secondary metabolites available from one microbial source is investigated and the OSMAC approach seems to be a useful tool to detect those metabolites that are postulated to be the final products of an amazing number of typical secondary metabolites gene clusters identified in several microorganisms.

TL;DR: This work proposes the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard, to facilitate consistent and systematic deposition and retrieval of data on biosynthetic gene clusters.

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of the model Sorangium strain S. cellulosum So ce56 is reported, which produces several natural products and has morphological and physiological properties typical of the genus, and the circular genome is the largest bacterial genome sequenced to date.

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent advances in the understanding of secondary metabolism of Bacillus thuringiensis, Pseudomonas entomophila, and Xenorhabdus and PhotorhabDus bacteria all of which are entomopathogenic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a strategic blueprint to substantially improve our ability to discover and develop new antibiotics, and propose both short-term and long-term solutions to overcome the most urgent limitations in the various sectors of research and funding.
