For pharmacists, however, it is interesting for a diffierent reason: It contains an activesubstance that has emerged in recent years as a beacon of hope against asthma and certain lypes of cancer.        Unfortunately. obtaining the substance with the cryptic name FR900359 (abbreviated: FR) in larger quantities is ratherlaborious. Cultivating the plants in greenhouses takes many weeks; moreover, the yield can vary enormously depending on thespecimen. Incidentally, they do not produce the active ingredicnt themsclves, but have bacteria in their leaves that do it for them."However. these only grow in the coralberry and cannot be cultivated in the laboratory," explains Dr. Max Crisemann of theInstitute of Pharmaceutical Biology at the University of Bonn.       Manufacturing FR is a complex undertaking. The bacteria have a special asscmbly line for this purpose. in which a number ofenzymes work hand in hand. The bacterial genetic makeup specities how this assembly line must be set up. "We have now searchedhuge databases for other microorganisms that also have these genes tior FR synbesis." Crisemann explains. "In the process. wecame across another bacteriumn. Unlike its coralberry relative. it does not grow in plants. but in soil and is casily propagated incuiture media." This finding should greatly facilitatc the production of FR in the future.
