Microbial Secondary Metabolites

2011
More than 20,000 bioactive, so-called microbial secondary metabolites are known today. In nature, they can play many different roles, such as antibiotics, toxins, ionophores, bioregulators, and in intra- and interspecific signaling. Their most versatile producers are differentiating filamentous fungi and actinomycetes, followed by other bacteria, such ...

Transporters of secondary metabolites

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2005
The membrane transport of plant secondary metabolites is a newly developing research area. Recent progress in genome and expressed sequence tag (EST) databases has revealed that many transporters and channels exist in plant genome. Studies of the genetic sequences that encode these proteins, and of phenotypes caused by the mutation of these sequences ...

Secondary Metabolites

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and various neurodegenerative diseases are generally characterized by neuronal loss, which directly induces cognitive and motor dysfunctions. Secondary metabolites, as natural products of aromatic and medicinal plants and other origins, could present a promising alternative source to combat neurodegenerative diseases.

Plant Secondary Metabolites

2015
Secondary metabolites are those compounds which are produced by certain microorganisms in a phase of subsequent to growth, may have some survival function, have unusual chemical structures, and are formed as mixtures of closely related members of a chemical family.

Engineering of secondary metabolite pathways

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2003
Nature produces an astonishing wealth of secondary metabolites with important biological functions. To access this diversity of structurally complex chemical compounds for industrial and biomedical applications, cells have been engineered to produce higher levels and/or novel compounds that were previously inaccessible. Recent examples of metabolic and

Secondary metabolites from Ganoderma

Phytochemistry, 2015
Ganoderma 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),

Secondary metabolites

Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Section B. Biological Sciences, 1996
SynopsisAll plants expend energy and nutrients in the production of secondary metabolites. Ecosystem-level studies on the production of metabolites in African rain forests are reviewed and factors influencing the production and distribution of phenolic compounds discussed.
