New Way to Improve Antibiotic Production

   June 17, 2013 — An antibiotic has been found to stimulate its own production.   
   The findings, to be published in PNAS, could make it easier to scale up   
   antibiotic production for commercialisation.   
      
   Scientists Dr Emma Sherwood and Professor Mervyn Bibb from the John Innes   
   Centre were able to use their discovery of how the antibiotic is naturally   
   produced to markedly increase the level of production.   
      
   "We have shown for the first time that an antibiotic with clinical potential   
   can act as signalling molecule to trigger its own synthesis," said Professor   
   Bibb.
