Biotechnology: Secondary Metabolites Plants and Microbes
This book comprises topics such as secondary metabolites production in culture using different approaches such as optimization, selection, biotransformation and possible mechanism of production, genetic transformation using agrobacteriunm rizogenes, and use of different types of bioreactor systems. Diverse compounds such as alkaloids, steroids, insecticides, antitumour agents and food additives, metabolites from fungi, lichens and plants are arranged in different chapters. The book is divided to 19 chapters. Chapter 1 discuss biotechnology for medicinal plants: research need. Chapter 2 discuss secondary plant products in nature. Chapter 3 discuss factors affecting the production of secondary metabolites. Chapter 4 discuss production of food additives. Chapter 5 discuss production of insecticides. Chapter 6 discuss production of antitumour compounds. Chapter 7 discuss production of alkaloids. Chapter 8 discuss production of steroids and saponins. Chapter 9 discuss understanding the regulatory mechanism of secondary metabolite production. Chapter 10 discuss production of secondary metabolites by bioconversion 255. Chapter 11 discuss genetic transformation for production of secondary matabolites. Chapter 12 discuss large-scale production in bioreactors. Chapter 13 discuss production of ergot alkaloids from claviceps. Chapter 14 discuss lichen products. Chapter 15 discuss Chinese herbal drug industry: past, present and future. Chapter 16 discuss secondary metabolites in in vitro cultures of ruta graveolens l. and ruta graveolens ssp. Divaricata (tenore) gams. Chapter 17 discuss antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity of extracts and secondary metabolites obtained from plants and lichens of Patagonia austral. Chapter 18 discuss tools and techniques for the study of plant tissue culture. Chapter 19 discuss practicals.
