Abstract
We describe and discuss the features and functions of the "parvome", the "-ome" of the chemical world, consisting of the small molecules produced by living organisms. Here, we focus specifically on the world of microbial small molecules. Many years of natural product discovery research, coupled with recent advances and applications of genetic and genomic techniques have revealed the presence of an enormous collection of unique small molecules that are the products of cellular metabolism. As yet, we have a poor understanding of their functions and, in most cases, little knowledge of their routes of biosynthesis, although such information is accruing rapidly. In this review, we attempt to address the raison d'etre of the parvome in the bacterial world, and we propose that a better understanding of the true biological roles of natural products will permit the application of rational approaches to the more effective exploitation of their use in medicine by humankind.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
