Chemical treasures from the sea were lifted by J. Piel and co‐workers in their Communication on page 14519 ff. A strategy based on biosynthetic gene cluster frequencies in sequenced bacterial genomes can provide information on the chemical richness of unexplored bacteria. The plant‐root‐associated marine bacterium Gynuella sunshinyii was thus uncovered as a source of diverse metabolites with new scaffolds and promising activities.
