Ecology shapes the genomic and biosynthetic diversification of Streptomyces bacteria from insectivorous bats Open
Streptomyces are prolific producers of secondary metabolites from which many clinically useful compounds have been derived. They inhabit diverse habitats but have rarely been reported in vertebrates. Here, we aim to determine to what exten…
