The genetics of chemical diversity.

Critical reviews in microbiology - 1 Jan 1994

Cerdá-Olmedo E

Abstract excerpt

The plethora of natural organic chemicals contrasts with the relative scarcity of genes and the apparent difficulty to evolve new ones. The genetical analysis of metabolism may be reviewed with this paradox in mind. The terpenoids constitute a particularly varied group of natural compounds; many...
