Crystal Palace boss Hodgson insists he’s ‘never felt old enough to retire’; return is ‘pleasant surprise’Roy Hodgson has insisted that he has “never felt old enough to retire” after being tempted back for another spell at Crystal Palace.
Former England manager Hodgson, who was unable to prevent Watford from dropping into the Sky Bet Championship last term, was surprised to be approached by the south London club. “I walk down the street, people say to me, ‘are you enjoying your retirement?’. But at the same time, I’ve never really felt old enough to retire, if the truth’s known.“But the way I feel doesn’t really tell me that, so I suppose there has always been an opening there for a project such as this one whereby I know very clearly what the project is, what the objective is, why I’m there and what’s expected of me.
“I’m afraid bad experiences or unpleasant experiences like going to try and save a club from relegation and then not succeeding that scars more than teaches you, there’s no question of that,” he said. “We’ve got a slight advantage but not a very big one and we’ve got to make certain we do everything we can out there on the training field to prepare the team.
The Eagles have taken only five points from a possible 36 since then, registering just five goals in that period.

Bioprospecting of desert actinobacteria with special emphases on griseoviridin, mitomycin C and a new bacterial metabolite producing Streptomyces sp. PU-KB10–4 - BMC MicrobiologyBackground Bioprospecting of actinobacteria isolated from Kubuqi desert, China for antibacterial, antifungal and cytotoxic metabolites production and their structure elucidation. Results A total of 100 actinobacteria strains were selectively isolated from Kubuqi desert, Inner Mongolia, China. The taxonomic characterization revealed Streptomyces as the predominant genus comprising 37 different species, along with the rare actinobacterial genus Lentzea. The methanolic extracts of 60.8% of strains exhibited potent antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and high to mild in vitro cytotoxicity against PC3 (prostate cancer) and A549 (lung carcinoma) cell lines. The metabolomics analysis by TLC, HPLC-UV/vis, HPLC-MS and NMR showed the presence of compounds with molecular weights ranging from 100 to 1000 Da. The scale-up fermentation of the prioritized anti-Gram-negative strain PU-KB10–4 (Streptomyces griseoviridis), yielded three pure compounds including; griseoviridin (1; 42.0 mgL− 1) with 20 fold increased production as compared to previous reports and its crystal structure as monohydrate form is herein reported for the first time, mitomycin C (2; 0.3 mgL− 1) and a new bacterial metabolite 4-hydroxycinnamide (3; 0.59 mgL− 1). Conclusions This is the first report of the bioprospecting and exploration of actinobacteria from Kubuqi desert and the metabolite 4-hydroxycinnamide (3) is first time isolated from a bacterial source. This study demonstrated that actinobacteria from Kubuqi desert are a potential source of novel bioactive natural products. Underexplored harsh environments like the Kubuqi desert may harbor a wider diversity of actinobacteria, particularly Streptomyces, which produce unique metabolites and are an intriguing source to develop medicinally valuable natural products.
