Although bacteria are most familiar as pathogens, some bacteria produce small molecules that are essential for the biology of animals and other eukaryotes. This lecture explores some of these roles and the small molecule chemistry that underlies them.video/mp4video/webmen-USIn CopyrightBiological chemistryMolecular pharmacologyVBIPresentationVirginia Tech.
