Genome Mining Reveals Rifamycin Biosynthesis in a Taklamakan Desert Actinomycete

Actinomycetes are recognized for producing diverse bioactive natural products, yet most biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) remain inactive under laboratory conditions. Rare actinomycetes from extreme environments represent underexplored reservoirs of metabolic potential. This study investigates <i...
