While research has predominantly focused on Myxococcota in Asia, Europe, and North America, their potential occurrence in Sub-Saharan Africa remains largely unexplored. To date, only one study has isolated Myxococcota in South Africa, with additional findings limited to incidental detection through metagenomic studies. Considering South Africa\u2019s ecological diversity, its biomes may represent promising but under-examined environments for systematic bioprospecting aimed at discovering novel Myxococcota with ecological or biotechnological potential. The recent reclassification of Myxococcota from the former Deltaproteobacteria has provided a more coherent taxonomic framework to guide future ecological and systematic studies. This review presents an overview of the taxonomic revision and explores the potential occurrence of Myxococcota in South African biomes. It covers the challenges associated with conventional culture-based isolation methods and highlights potential genome- and metagenome-based approaches, including the use of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) to identify cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), while acknowledging current limitations. Considering the increasing resistance to chemical fungicides in South African agriculture, this review further explores the potential of Myxococcota-derived secondary metabolites as candidate bioprotective alternatives. By identifying current research gaps, it aims to support future efforts towards systematic bioprospecting to investigate the ecological and biotechnological potential of Myxococcota in South Africa.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Key points<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u2022 South African biomes may harbour novel Myxococcota with biosynthetic potential.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\u2022 Genome mining could reveal cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs).<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\u2022 Myxococcota metabolites may help control resistant fungal phytopathogens.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00253-025-13586-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,30]],"date-time":"2025-08-30T01:45:28Z","timestamp":1756518328000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["South African Myxococcota: an untapped resource for microbial ecolo gy and biotechnology"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"109","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7634-0605","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Benjamin","family":"Havenga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3972-5343","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karin","family":"Jacobs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"13586_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms11071691","volume":"11","author":"CC Achilonu","year":"2023","unstructured":"Achilonu CC, Gryzenhout M, Ghosh S, Marais GJ (2023) In vitro evaluation of azoxystrobin, boscalid, fentin-hydroxide, propiconazole, pyraclostrobin fungicides against Alternaria alternata pathogen isolated from Carya illinoinensis in South Africa.
