Bioactive molecules unearthed by terabase-scale long-read sequencing of a soil metagenome

Bacterial strains and growth conditions All strains, unless otherwise specified, were grown in Luria–Bertani (LB) at 30 °C with 200-rpm shaking. Antibiotic activity test strains and ESKAPE pathogens were: B. subtilis 168, S. aureus SH1000, E. coli ATCC 25922, E. faecium COM15, K. pneumoniae ATCC 10031, A. baumannii ATCC 17978, P. aeruginosa PAO1 and E. cloacae ATCC 13047. Sample collection In late May 2023, we collected samples from Rockefeller …
