The secondary metabolite bioinformatics portal: Computational tools to facilitate synthetic biology of secondary metabolite production
Natural products are among the most important sources of lead molecules for drug discovery. With the development of affordable whole-genome sequencing technologies and other 'omics tools, the field of natural products research is currently undergoing a shift in paradigms. While, for decades, mainly analytical and chemical methods gave access to this group of compounds, nowadays genomics-based m...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of a Fungus Producing Membrane Active Metabolite and Analysis of the Produced Secondary Metabolite
Background: The majority of studies on soil Aspergillus concern the isolation and characterization of the antimicrobial compounds produced by this organism. Our previous studies indicated an isolated Aspergillus strain soil to be of interest, and this subject is further investigated here. Method: Soil samples of various locations in Iran were collected. Extract from Aspergillus sp. culture was...
متن کاملStreptomyces developmental cycle and secondary metabolite production
Streptomyces is an extremely important bacterium for industry, since approximately two thirds of all antibiotics are synthesized by members of this genus. Furthermore, Streptomycetes produce large numbers of eukaryotic cell differentiation and apoptosis inducers. Streptomyces is a mycelial soil bacterium characterized by a complex developmental cycle that includes programmed cell death (PCD) ph...
متن کاملSecondary metabolite variation of Ducrosia anethifolia at different growth stage
Background and objectives: Variation of active substances in medicinal plants during growth has been studied and the optimum harvest time has been determined for many medicinal plants. Ducrosi anethifolia is one the species belonging to Apiaceae family that has been used to improve the odor of food and drink. It is used also to treat catarrh, headache and backache in f...
متن کاملSecondary Metabolite Contents and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities of Cichorium intybus Hairy Roots in Response to Zinc
Hairy root systems are formed by transforming plant tissues with the “natural genetic engineer” Agrobacterium rhizogenes. In most plants such as Cichorium intybus L., hairy root cultures have proven to be an efficient system for secondary metabolites production. The effect of Zinc (ZnSO4), a heavy metal, was investigated at different concentrations (0, 1, 5 and 10 mM) on some secondary metaboli...
