Discovery and Isolation of Bioactive Natural Products from Actinomycete Bacteria with an Examination ofInfectious Disease Drug Development and Application : A Comparison of the Developing and Developed Worlds

Creator:

Petrossian, Gregory

Abstract:

New antibiotic compounds with novel mechanisms of action have become essential in response to the recent paradigm of increasingly resistant strains of bacteria. Secondary metabolites (natural products) from bacteria such as Actinobacteria serve as lead compounds for the development of pharmaceutical drugs widely used to fight bacterial, viral and fungal...

Investigation of microbial extracts as a source of neurological agents

Creator:

Malmo, Jay M.

Abstract:

This study tested natural products from cyanobacteria from the Red Sea in Egypt and marine tunicates from the Algoa Bay in South Africa. Products from marine organisms have been used as lead compounds for the synthesis of new drugs because of their biological activity mechanism. Specifically, these products may contain...
