Description
Summary:Actinomycetes are outstanding and fascinating sources of potent bioactive compounds, particularly antibiotics. In recent years, rare actinomycetes have had an increasingly important position in the discovery of antibacterial compounds, especially Micromonospora , Actinomadura and Amycolatopsis . Focusing on the period from 2008 to 2018, we herein summarize the structures and bioactivities of secondary metabolites from rare actinomycetes, involving 21 genera. A detailed introduction to the structures and bioactivities of secondary metabolites from rare actinomycetes is made.
