Recent advances in discovery and biosynthesis of natural products from myxobacteria: an overview from 2017 to 2023

Abstract

Covering: 2017.01 to 2023.11

Natural products biosynthesized by myxobacteria are appealing due to their sophisticated chemical skeletons, remarkable biological activities, and intriguing biosynthetic enzymology. This review aims to systematically summarize the advances in the discovery methods, new structures, and bioactivities of myxobacterial NPs reported in the period of 2017–2023. In addition, the peculiar biosynthetic pathways of several structural families are also highlighted.
