Abstract
The search for novel biologically active materials is a major goal of many biotechnologically based companies. These include pharmaceutical agrochemical and food companies seeking new drugs pesticides flavours and aroma. In the past the process of identifying new compounds has been based on low throughput biological screening of compounds developed and synthesized by organic chemists using traditional procedures. Recent developments in many area appear to offer alternative approaches which may eventually prove to be more cost-effective. Plants and microbes continue to be important sources of clinically used drugs in modern medicine.
