Natural Product-Encoding Genes in Polar Soils

Congratulations to Belinda Ferrari, her team Nicole Benaud and Eden Zhang and all those involved in this great publication using genome mining to identify polar soil bacterial communities with novel biosynthetic potential.

This paper highlights the potential of Antarctic desert soils as excellent candidates for novel natural product bioprospecting and gives further insight into the functional and ecological relevance.
