Biotechnological prospects from metagenomics.
The recognition that most microorganisms in the environment cannot be cultured by standard methods stimulated the development of metagenomics, which is the genomic analysis of uncultured microorganisms. Two types of analysis have been used to obtain information from metagenomic libraries: a function-driven approach, in which metagenomic libraries are initially screened for an expressed trait, a...
متن کاملIdentification and biological activities of bryostatins from Japanese bryozoan.
Six bryostatins were isolated from Japanese bryozoan by evaluating their binding to the C1B domain of protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ). Structure-activity studies of bryostatins 4, 10, and 14 suggested that the ester group at C20 was not necessary for binding to and activating PKCδ. These bryostatins showed significant anti-tumor-promoting activity in induction tests with the Epstein-Barr virus early a...
متن کاملExtremely thermophilic energy metabolisms: biotechnological prospects.
New strategies for metabolic engineering of extremely thermophilic microorganisms to produce bio-based fuels and chemicals could leverage pathways and physiological features resident in extreme thermophiles for improved outcomes. Furthermore, very recent advances in genetic tools for these microorganisms make it possible for them to serve as metabolic engineering hosts. Beyond providing a highe...
متن کاملFlavonoids: biosynthesis, biological functions, and biotechnological applications
Flavonoids are widely distributed secondary metabolites with different metabolic functions in plants. The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathways, as well as their regulation by MYB, basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH), and WD40-type transcription factors, has allowed metabolic engineering of plants through the manipulation of the different final products with valuable applications. The present revi...
متن کاملAlginate-modifying enzymes: biological roles and biotechnological uses
Alginate denotes a group of industrially important 1-4-linked biopolymers composed of the C-5-epimers β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G). The polysaccharide is manufactured from brown algae where it constitutes the main structural cell wall polymer. The physical properties of a given alginate molecule, e.g., gel-strength, water-binding capacity, viscosity and biocompatibility, a...
