报告摘要:Many small molecules play very important roles in nature. Our studies on Bacillus subtilis led to the discovery of two types of biofilm inhibitors, D-amino acids and norspermidine. Their mechanisms of actions have been elucidated and proposed. Gene manipulation of a Streptomyces species yielded polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTM) that showed anti-fungal activity. Genome mining and PCR-guided study were carried out to identify more PTM analogues from an environmental Streptomyces strain. Ipomoeassins and other biologically active molecules were discovered through assay-guided separation from tropical plants, endophytic fungi and bacteria.
