The production of biologically active metabolites, e.g., antimicrobial compounds, is an essential step in the discovery and development process of medicinal drugs based on natural products. To get a hand on the compound of interest it first has to be biosynthesized by the corresponding producer, mostly a microorganism. In this chapter, a general workflow, which can easily be adapted to the lab, is described. Both fermentation on solid and in liquid medium is explained, and examples of hand on procedures are given.
