Manipulation of fungal development as source of novel secondary metabolites for biotechnology.
Applied microbiology and biotechnology - 1 Oct 2014
Gerke Jennifer, Braus Gerhard H
Abstract excerpt
Fungal genomics revealed a large potential of yet-unexplored secondary metabolites, which are not produced during vegetative growth. The discovery of novel bioactive compounds is increasingly gaining importance. The high number of resistances against established antibiotics requires novel drugs to counteract increasing human and animal mortality rates. In addition, growth of plant pathogens has to be controlled...
