The availability of some natural products with promising anticancer activity has been limited because they are synthesized by symbiotic bacteria associated with specific animals. Recent research has identified the clusters of bacterial genes responsible for their synthesis, so that the molecules can be synthesized in alternative, easily cultured bacteria.
一些具有潜在抗癌活性的天然产物的可得性一直受到限制,因为它们是由与特定动物相关的共生细菌合成的。最近的研究已经确定了负责其合成的细菌基因簇,这样这些分子就可以在其他易于培养的细菌中合成。
