Abstract
This Perspective provides an overview of the progress in two of the original programs in my research group focused on the biosynthesis of the antibiotics nisin, lacticin 481, fosfomycin, and bialaphos. The path from start-up funds to tenure and beyond offers insights into the opportunities realized and missed along the road.Keywords
