ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF LICHEN SECONDARY METABOLITES

Lichens possess varying antimicrobial properties; and they have been shown to be active against a plethora of pathogenic microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Many reviews and research papers have well expanded and documented the biological and pharmacological importance of lichen secondary metabolites. Lichens and lichen compounds have long been used by Native Americans, the […]

LICHEN METABOLISM

DrChika

All microorganisms carry out two modes of metabolism during their lifetime, and these are mainly primary metabolism and secondary metabolism. Primary metabolism is very indispensable to the survival of all microbial cells as it is during this metabolic activity that important compounds (known as primary metabolites) such as nucleic acids, amino acids, vitamins and enzymes

MICROBIAL METABOLITES: Primary Metabolites & Secondary Metabolites

DrChika

Microbial metabolites are metabolic intermediate molecules synthesized by microorganisms during and after their growth. They are the metabolic intermediates of the biosynthetic and degradative pathways of microorganisms Microbes synthesize metabolites or metabolic intermediates at an increasing rate; and these metabolites are usually harvested or recovered by industrial processes usually at the end of the fermentation
