How to induce glycopeptide antibiotic production?

07 March 2021 1 5K Report

Hi,

I have a bacteria that is known to produce a glycopepide antibiotic, but I can't seem to get it to produce it or i am unable to detect it?

Does anyone have expertise in this field who could advise me on how to do this?

Thanks

T. H. Al-Noor
