Introducing ectoine as compatible solute: biosynthetic pathway, production and applications
Halophilic microorganisms cope with environmental stresses by producing and accumulating compatible solutes. Ectoine is one of the most important members of compatible solutes which have extra protective properties compared to other compatible solutes. Ectoine attracts several scientific and commercial attention because of their multiple industrial applications. This brief review presents appli...
متن کاملAflatoxin Biosynthetic Pathway and Pathway Genes
Among the over 185 known species within the genus Aspergillus, Aspergillus flavus is the most economically important because it produces the toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins. Its non-aflatoxigenic relative A. oryzae is used extensively for food fermentations (Jelinek et al., 1989). It is one of the most abundant soil-borne molds on earth. A. flavus fungus is a saprobe mold that is capable of s...
متن کاملAflatoxin Biosynthetic Pathway Enzymes
Five strains ofAspergillusfJavus lacking the ability to produce aflatoxins were examined in greenhouse tests for the ability to prevent a toxigenic strain from contaminating developing cottonseed with aflatoxins. All atoxigenic strains reduced contamination when inoculated into developing bolls 24 h prior to the toxigenic strain. However, only one strain, AF36, was highly effective when inocula...
متن کاملThe tryptophan biosynthetic pathway
The trp repressor proteins regulate transcription of several different operons located at separate sites on the E. coli chromosome. In addition to the trp operon, this repressor represses transcription of aroH, a single-gene operon that encodes an enzyme required for the synthesis of all aromatic amino acids, and trpR, another single-gene operon encoding the trp repressor itself. Such coordinat...
متن کاملInvestigation in expression of key genes involved in sanguinarine biosynthetic pathway in Papaver genus under drought and salinity
The presence of morphine alkaloids, anti-microbial and anti-cancer metabolite, sanguinarine, in different species of Papaver genus has made it one of the most valuable plants in the pharmaceutical industry.With regard to the influence of drought and salinity on the increase of secondary metabolites, the present study attempted to investigate the effect of the mentioned stresses on the key genes...
