We describe novel tools, bioluminescent whole-cell reporter gene assays, for facilitating the use of natural products in antimicrobial drug discovery. As proof-of-concept, a plant extract library was screened and follow-up experiments were carried out. Primary results can be obtained in 2-4h with high sensitivity, leading to significant improvements of the process.
我们描述了一种新型工具——生物发光全细胞报告基因检测法,以促进天然产物在抗菌药物发现中的应用。作为概念验证,我们筛选了一个植物提取物文库并进行了后续实验。主要结果可在2-4小时内以高灵敏度获得,从而显著改进了该过程。
