Possibility of Bacterial Recruitment of Plant Genes Associated with the Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolites
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Microorganisms and plants synthesize an immense variety of metabolites, which are generally classified into two major groups based on their function. Primary metabolites are essential for growth and universally used, whereas secondary metabolism is highly diverse and variable and plays a role for the survival of the producing organism within its natural habitat (Demain, 1989; Harborne, 1993; Hartmann, 1996;...
