Project Details
Description
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens demands continuous research in the discovery of novel antibiotic compounds. Most of the known antibiotics are or derive from natural products found in soil bacteria, fungi and plants. However, the discovery and production of these compounds is complicated and limited due to the difficulties in cultivating and modifying most of the producing organisms. Here, we propose a standardized, engineering workflow for the production and derivation of these compounds using the bacterium Pseudomonas putida, a novel laboratory workhorse whose characteristics are optimal for product discovery and derivation, as well as for industrial production.
