In the last decade, a number of studies have reported the positive effects of AMF on improving the production and accumulation of important active compounds in medicinal plants. In this work, we reviewed the literature on the effects of AMF on the production of secondary metabolites in medicinal...
2a). The 3D PCA score scatter plot show that C, D2, D3 and D4 are closely clustered indicating that adding diaper waste leads to the production of secondary metabolites similar to the control (Fig. 2b). The stacking spectra of D2 being the most efficient growth substrate show no extra...
This study also contributes to the growing literature on the production of secondary metabolites by recombinant P. putida. An excellent review on this topic was recently published [34]. The results are discussed in the context of production and applications of designer rhamnolipids....
The production of volatile secondary plant substances during the evolution of terrestrial plants is reviewed in regard to the defensive systems of plants to microorganisms and herbivores. Plant volatiles can be produced by both anabolic and catabolic processes. Although attraction of pollinators is a we...
The saturation constant (Ks) varies with the type of organism used in the initial inoculum. For secondary metabolites such as antibiotics or enzymes, the production media are so designed that a key nutrient becomes limiting at a critical stage to initiate secondary metabolism in the organism. The...
A metabolic pathway related to acetone reduction was selected, and acetone conversion to IPA was achieved via the heterologous expression of secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (sadh) in the thermophilic bacterium. sadh-expressing strains were combined with acetone-producing strains, to obtain an IPA-...
Due to the multibranch and multistep metabolic pathway, it is challenging for microbial overproduction of plant secondary metabolites [26]. In this case, the critical enzymes like shikimate kinase, chorismate synthaseARO2, prephenate dehydratasePHA2, prephenate dehydrogenaseTYR1, and aromatic amino acid...
Although reported to be successful in prokaryotes like actinomycetes6,7 and eukaryotes such as baker’s yeast8,9,10 and filamentous fungi11,12, yields of heterologous secondary metabolites can vary substantially from the natural producer. Moreover, the native BGC-related product fingerprint of the ...

Importantly, extracts from numerous species of Drosera have been traditionally used for various medicinal purposes, especially as efficient agents against respiratory diseases (Table 1). These therapeutic effects are thought to correlate with the content of secondary metabolites, namely naphthoquinones which...
