Publikation: Terrestrische Cyanobakterien als Quelle für antimikrobielle Wirkstoffe

Das Lehrgebiet BioVT publiziert zusammen mit der TH Bingen über das Wirkstoffpotential von Cyanbobakterien im BIOspektrum.

Cyanobacteria developed an enormous reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites in order to prevail against competitive microorganisms and harsh environmental impacts. Many cyanobacterial substances with vast economical, medical and biotechnological potential have been described in the past. However, most of the examined bacteria are aquatic strains. We want to take a closer look on their terrestrial relatives which also possess a rich secondary metabolome that is still to explore.
