Abstract:Background and Objectives: Myxobacteria initially recognized by their complex life cycle and social behavior are progres- sively explored for their bioactive secondary metabolites. However, isolation of myxobacteria usually is accompanied by bacterial and fungal contaminations due to the direct cultivation of soilon isolation media, which results in severe challenges in the purification of myxobacteria. Therefore, it is necessary to improve their purification techniquesfrom natural samples to the discovery of … Show more
