Nitrogen regulation of fungal secondary metabolism in fungi
Fungi occupy diverse environments where they are constantly challenged by stressors such as extreme pH, temperature, UV exposure, and nutrient deprivation. Nitrogen is an essential requirement for growth, and the ability to metabolize a wide variety of nitrogen sources enables fungi to colonize different environmental niches and survive nutrient limitations. Favored nitrogen sources, particular...
متن کاملRegulation of secondary metabolism in fungi
Secondary metabolites (idiolites) are structurally diverse and unusual, generally are produced in mixtures with other members of the same chemical family, and usually are formed at low specific growth rates. In batch cultures, processes leading to the production of idiolites are often sequential; the cultures exhibit a distinct growth phase (trophophase) followed by a production phase (idiophas...
متن کاملGenetic regulation of nitrogen metabolism in the fungi.
In the fungi, nitrogen metabolism is controlled by a complex genetic regulatory circuit which ensures the preferential use of primary nitrogen sources and also confers the ability to use many different secondary nitrogen sources when appropriate. Most structural genes encoding nitrogen catabolic enzymes are subject to nitrogen catabolite repression, mediated by positive-acting transcription fac...
متن کاملSecondary metabolism: regulation and role in fungal biology.
Filamentous fungi produce a diverse array of secondary metabolites--small molecules that are not necessary for normal growth or development. Secondary metabolites have a tremendous impact on society; some are exploited for their antibiotic and pharmaceutical activities, others are involved in disease interactions with plants or animals. The availability of fungal genome sequences has led to an ...
متن کاملRegulation of Bone Metabolism
Bone is formed through the processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In endochondral ossification primary mesenchymal cells differentiate to chondrocytes and then are progressively substituted by bone, while in intramembranous ossification mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate directly into osteoblasts to form bone. The steps of osteogenic proliferation, differentiation,...
