Secondary metabolism in simulated microgravity
The Chemical Record, 2001AbstractWe have studied microbial secondary metabolism in a simulated microgravity (SMG) environment provided by NASA rotating‐wall bioreactors (RWBs). These reactors were designed to simulate some aspects of actual microgravity that occur in space. Growth and product formation were observed in SMG in all cases studied, i.e., Bacillus brevis produced ...

Transcriptional regulation of secondary metabolism
Functional Plant Biology, 2003Plants produce secondary metabolites during development and in response to environmental stimuli such as light or pathogen attack. Transcriptional regulation provides the most important control point for the secondary metabolic pathways studied to date. In this article we review the data on the transcription factors that modulate this regulation.

Biotechnological exploitation of plant cell cultures for production of natural products will depend on our ability to modify expression of complex biosynthetic pathways both quantitatively and qualitatively. De novo, transcriptional activation of genes encoding biosynthetic pathway enzymes represents the first, and often the major, control point for ...

Adventitious Roots and Secondary Metabolism
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology, 2008Plants are a rich source of valuable secondary metabolites and in the recent years plant cell, tissue and organ cultures have been developed as an important alternative sources for the production of these compounds. Adventitious roots have been successfully induced in many plant species and cultured for the production of high value secondary ...

In addition to the primary metabolic reactions which are similar in all groups of living organisms (formation and breakdown of nucleic acids and proteins and their precursors, of most carbohydrates, of some carboxylic acids, etc., cf. Table 6), a vast number of metabolic pathways lead to the formation of peculiar chemical compounds, the so-called ...

Microbial secondary metabolism
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1980Abstract Microbial products (e.g. pigments, alkaloids, toxins, antibiotics, gibberellins, carotenoids, etc.) that serve no obvious function in the life of organisms that produce them, are called secondary metabolites. The production of secondary metabolites is not universal among microbes.

Metabolic engineering of the plant primary–secondary metabolism interface
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2011Plants synthesize a myriad of secondary metabolites (SMs) that are derived from central or primary metabolism. While these so-called natural products have been targets for plant metabolic engineering attempts for many years, the immense value of manipulating the interface between committed steps in secondary metabolism pathways and those in primary ...

Il volume “Pesticidi di origine naturale” coglie con perfetto tempismo il cambio di paradigma che negli ultimi decenni ha caratterizzato la quasi totalità dei settori delle “scienze della vita”, ovvero il passaggio, nella risoluzione di numerose problematiche, dall’approccio chimico a quello biochimico/biologico.

Metabolic Engineering of Secondary Plant Metabolism
2017Metabolic engineering is a modulation of metabolic pathway(s) of the host either to increase the concentration of existing compounds or to produce a novel compound. It began with the engineering of microorganisms, and the concept has been extrapolated to plants opening newer promising perspectives.

Secondary metabolism in tobacco
Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 2002Tobacco has been quite well studied phytochemically, more than 2500 compounds have been identified. Here, the secondary metabolism in tobacco will be reviewed in a biosynthetic perspective. Major groups of compounds which have extensively been studied are the isoprenoids, alkaloids, cinnamoylputrescines, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. Their biosynthetic
