Examining the Function of Metabolites Generated from Cyanobacteria as Antimicrobial Agents from a 21st-Century Perspective
The review concludes that cyanobacteria represent a comparatively underexploited reservoir of structurally novel antimicrobial chemotypes that merit sustained, mechanistically grounded investigation, while acknowledging that translational progress remains constrained by supply, safety and regulatory hurdles that have yet to be systematically resolved.
