Biochemistry of Secondary Metabolism in Plants
2023Through secondary or specialized metabolites plants adapt to their environment. A myriad of different compounds plays a significant role in the plant–environment interaction. These compounds help plants in attracting pollinators or deterring herbivores, in their protection from pathogen microorganisms, or in protection from various abiotic stresses ...

Secondary Metabolism in Myxobacteria
2014In the past 30 years myxobacteria have been established as proficient producers of various secondary metabolites and are regarded today as one of the few important sources for microbial natural products besides actinomycetes and fungi. Epothilone from Sorangium cellulosum recently successfully finished phase III clinical trials as an anticancer agent ...

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 ...

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.

Plant metabolism is divided in primary and secondary metabolism according to the functions they display and the characteristics of their biosynthetic pathways. Secondary metabolites are synthesized from primary metabolites and, usually, they are produced within a phylogenetic group, but are not only limited to them.

Regulation of secondary metabolism in streptomycetes
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2005While the biological functions of most of the secondary metabolites made by streptomycetes are not known, it is inconceivable that they do not play an adaptive ecological role. The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites under laboratory conditions usually occurs in a growth phase or developmentally controlled manner, but is also influenced by a wide ...

The Regulation of Secondary Metabolism in Photorhabdus
2016A general definition of secondary metabolism is that it consists of the metabolic pathways and the products of metabolism that are not absolutely required for the survival of the organism. Using this definition, it is now well established that Photorhabdus elaborate an extensive secondary metabolism during the post-exponential phase of bacterial growth.

Secondary Metabolism and Microbial Physiology
1985Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the biochemical similarities and differences between primary and secondary metabolism. The known secondary metabolites are divided into three categories according to the perceived source of the carbon from which their skeletons are derived.
