    Description

    Springer Science+Business Media Advances In Microbial Toxin Research And Its Biotechnological Exploitation by Rajeev K. Upadhyay

    Microbial Toxins Are Secondary Metabolites That Accumulate In The Organism And To A Large Extent Are Metabolically Inactive Towards The Organism That Produces Them. The Discovery Of Penicillin A Secondary Metabolite Of Penicillium Notatum West (= P. Chrysogenum Thom) In 1929 Marked A Milestone In The Development Of Antibiotics (Microbial Toxins). In The Intensive Studies That Followed This Discovery Scientists Chemically Characterized Several New Molecules (Toxins) From Secondary Metabolites Of Microbes Some Having A Definite Function In Causing Pathogenesis In Plants. Toxins Are Also Known To Playa Significant Role In Inciting Animal (Human) And Insect Diseases And As Plant Growth Regulators. Many Common Toxins Have Also Been Isolated From Different Microbes Exhibiting A Wide Spectrum Of Biological Activity. Toxins Are Broadly Divisible Into Several Characteristic Groupings - Polyketides Oxygen Heterocyclic Compounds Pyrons Terpenoids Amino Acids - Diketopiperazines Polypeptides Etc. Recent Research Has Indicated That These Toxins Play An Important Role In Plant Pathogenesis Disease Epidemics Plant Breeding Biological Control Of Plant Pathogens And Insect Pests Induced Resistance Plant-Pathogen Interactions Etc. Toxins Produced By Weed Pathogens Are Exploited As Lead Molecules In Developing Environmentally Friendly Herbicides.
