Abstract:Actinomycetes’ secondary metabolites have received considerable attention due to their many beneficial biological activities. However, many biosynthetic gene clusters in actinomycetes remain silent as they are not transcribed under standard laboratory conditions. Therefore, this study aims to introduce antibiotic elicitors to activate cryptic secondary metabolites in soil actinomycetes and screen them for antibacterial potential. A total of 20 cave and 10 mangrove soil actinomycete isolates were exposed to str… Show more
