This book was released on 2020-11-28 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food security and the medicinal needs of billions of people around the world are pressing global issues, and the biodiversity and sustainable utilization of plants is of great significance in this context. Further, ethnobotanical studies are vital in the discovery of new drugs from indigenous medicinal plants, and plants with industrially important metabolites need to be cultivated to meet the growing market demand. In addition, the production of plant metabolites under in vitro conditions also has tremendous possibilities. The totipotency of plant cells plays a valuable role in the sustainable utilization of plant resources through cell, tissue and organ culture. At the same time, production can be enhanced using productive cell lines, treatment with elicitors, changing nutritional parameters and metabolic engineering. This book provides state-of-the-art information on biodiversity, conservation, ethnobotany, various aspects of In vitro secondary metabolite production, bioprospecting from various plant groups and drug discovery. It also discusses methods of extracting and characterizing drug leads from plant sources.

Download or read book Measuring Changes in Algal Derived Metabolites in Marine and Freshwater Systems written by Jonathan Scott Sauer and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metabolites produced by microalgae profoundly affect the natural environment as the dominant organic carbon source in the ocean and the dominant organic sulfur source to the atmosphere. Of particular interest to this dissertation is the production of algal metabolites in response to changes in organism health and biological community turnover. In this dissertation, algal metabolites are investigated in highly complex marine and in controlled commercial-oriented environments. Measurements of organosulfur gases dimethyl sulfide, methanethiol, and dimethyl disulfide during marine mesocosm experiments show that the production of highly reactive non-dimethyl sulfide organosulfur compounds can comprise a far larger fraction of total sulfur released from the ocean than previously understood. This production was found to depend on the bacterial assemblages present in each mesocosm in combination with the biochemistry of the water. To more accurately measure algal metabolites in the natural environment, a new ionization method for high resolution mass spectrometry of high-salt organic samples was applied to analysis of marine samples. This method demonstrated the ability to analyze unprocessed seawater for the first time. To produce systems which replicate the turnover of natural marine algae, a review of the ocean-atmosphere simulator approach is given. As an exemplar of this approach, an intensive experiment utilizing an ocean atmosphere simulator is given which discusses the system performance and mesocosm characteristics. As microalgae are increasingly used commercially as a source of renewable biomass, understanding the production of metabolites in response to deleterious factors such as grazing is needed. The connection between algal grazing and production of grazing-specific metabolites was investigated by combining the results from imaging mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. These studies found chlorophyll-a related breakdown products in the solid and liquid phases which were connected to measurements of volatile gases. Continuous measurements of volatile gases from microalgae by chemical ionization mass spectrometry were performed to understand the timescale in which gas production in response to grazing occurs. Chemical ionization mass spectrometry was found to be able to detect grazing in algal cultures 24-72 hours faster than current best methods, opening a new monitoring approach for commercial microalgae.
