Antibacterial Activities Of Bacterial Symbionts

Symbiotic systems often emphasize the importance and biological activities of natural products (NPs) as modulators of symbiont interactions. Such symbioses may be common (both benefiting), commensalist (benefiting just one symbiont), or parasite (benefiting one organism and harming the other), defined as any kind of close , long-term association between both organisms (generally different species). In addition to that, symbiosis can usually be classified either as "obligatory," where each symbiont relies upon the other to survive or as "optional" or facultative. In particular, model symbiosis can be used from a medicaments discovery point of view to understand aspects related to the development of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) and the use of BGCs in nature. While some symbiotic systems are still too complex to dissect, others provide abundant scientific information on community shaping as well as ecological justification for drug discovery. Many of the symbiotic systems which are well understood provide insight into how microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, such as ecologically significant modulate.Thus, a research platform combining ecology, evolutionary biology, and drug discovery has been established to find antibiotics based on studies on symbiotic relations.
