Secondary metabolites from Ganoderma
Phytochemistry, 2015Ganoderma is a genus of medicinal mushrooms. This review deals with secondary metabolites isolated from Ganoderma and their biological significance. Phytochemical studies over the last 40years led to the isolation of 431 secondary metabolites from various Ganoderma species. The major secondary compounds isolated are (a) C30 lanostanes (ganoderic acids),

Detection of Novel Secondary Metabolites
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 1991The study of antibiotics and other fermentation products has shown that a seemingly unlimited number of compounds with diverse structures are produced by microorganisms. The continued high rate of discovery of new chemical entities, in the light of the abundance of microbial products already described, is due to creative screening procedures that ...

Secondary metabolites are organic compounds produced by microorganism or plant which are not directly involved in the growth, development, or reproduction of the organism. Secondary metabolites play an important role in plant defense against insects and microorganisms defenses. Humans use to secondary metabolites in medicines, flavorings, pigments, and

Extraction of Plant Secondary Metabolites
2006This chapter presents an overview of the preparation of extracts from plants using organic solvents, with emphasis on common problems encountered and methods for their reduction or elimination. In addition to generally applicable extraction protocols, methods are suggested for selectively extracting specific classes of plant-derived compounds, and ...

Redox active secondary metabolites
Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2011Various secondary metabolites from plants, bacteria and fungi are redox active and able to modulate the intracellular redox equilibrium in living cells. Many of these compounds behave as antioxidants, yet some of them also cause oxidative modifications, which may ultimately result in cell death.

Unexpected applications of secondary metabolites
Biotechnology Advances, 2011Secondary metabolites have been found to have interesting applications over and above their well-known medical uses, e.g., as antimicrobials, etc. These alternative applications include antitumor, cholesterol-lowering, immunosuppressant, antiprotozoal, antihelminth, antiviral and anti-ageing activities.

Production of Secondary Metabolites by Bioconversion
2007The omnipotency (omnis = all, potens = powerful) of the plant cell implies that all genetic information present in the plant is principally available in each cell. This means that genes encoding enzymes that belong to biosynthetic pathways can be brought to expression.

The physiology and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites
Acta Biologica Hungarica, 1997Recently, several excellent reviews appeared /9, 12, 15, 29/ summarizing new findings of the last years and describing the topic in the new interconnections. The signalling systems through which changes in environmental conditions affecting the growth of microorganism are sensed, transmitted and converted into mechanisms controlling the production of ...

Mutation and the Production of Secondary Metabolites
1973Publisher Summary This chapter deals with microbially produced secondary metabolites. Secondary metabolites are a group of products that are extremely important to health and nutrition. They are usually produced during the idiophase of development, have no general function in growth processes, are produced by certain restricted taxonomic groups of ...
