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 ...

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 ...

SECONDARY METABOLISM AS DIFFERENTIATION
Journal of Food Safety, 1983Secondary metabolism is the biosynthesis, transformation, and degradation of a wide array of natural products. These low molecular weight organic compounds are generally produced at a restricted phase of the life cycle, often in association with differentiated morphological structures.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.
