Covering: 2000 to 2023 Cyanobacteria produce a variety of bioactive natural products that can pose a threat to humans and animals as environmental toxins, but also have potential for or inspire pharmaceutical use. As oxygenic phototrophs, cyanobacteria furthermore hold great promise for sustainable biotechnology. Yet, the necessary tools for exploiting their biotechnological potential have so far been established only for a few model strains of cyanobacteria, while large untapped biosynthetic resources are hidden in slow-growing cyanobacterial genera that are difficult to access by genetic techniques. In recent years, several approaches have been developed to circumvent the bottlenecks in cyanobacterial natural product research. Here, we summarize current progress that has been made in unlocking or characterizing cryptic metabolic pathways using integrated omics techniques, orphan gene cluster activation, use of genetic approaches in original producers, heterologous expression and chemo-enzymatic techniques. We are mainly highlighting genomic mining concepts and strategies towards high-titer production of cyanobacterial natural products from the last 10 years and discuss the need for further research developments in this field.
