Screening for β-lactamase inhibitors from mangrove soil actinomycetes / Suhaidi Ariffin

Marine-derived actinomycetes possess distinct and complex metabolic capabilities, resulting in the wide diversity of their secondary metabolites in terms of chemical structure and biological activity. The bioactive compounds of actinomycetes isolated from mangrove soils are reported to possess vario...
