Introduction
Anthracimycin is an antibiotic discovered in 2012 that is able to kill gram-positive bacteria, namely anthrax (Bacillus Anthracis). It also may be able to kill MRSA, and therefore is an extremely relevant research topic. It was found in an ocean microbe called Streptomyces sp. off the shores of Santa Barbara, California.
Chemical Structure of Anthracimycin
Potential Uses
Include some current research, with a second image.
Conclusion
Overall text length should be at least 1,000 words (before counting references), with at least 2 images. Include at least 5 references under Reference section.
