Development of a chemically defined medium for Planctopirus limnophila to increase biomass production

Background: Planctomycetes is a phylum of biofilm-forming bacteria with numerous biosynthetic gene clusters, offering a promising source of new bioactive secondary metabolites. However, the current generation of chemically defined media achieves only low biomass yields, hindering research on these s...
