The diverse microbial community has a large metabolic repartoire for primary and specialized metabolites. Those chemicals have a large impacts on the ecology of the microbial community especially in the context of cell-cell or cell-host interaction. Our goal is to understand unknown function and mechanism of those metabolic output to exploit them for practical industrial use.
