Optimization of Nutrients and Process Parameters for Improved Production of Bioactive Metabolite Butyrolactone I by Aspergillus terreus strains under Submerged Fermentation
Abstract:Aspergilli, a large and diverse genus of ubiquitous filamentous fungi are the source of diverse secondary metabolites that can be used in the development of medications to treat diseases. Butyrolactone I is produced as a secondary metabolite by A. terreus. Butyrolactone I is a potent inhibitor of the eukaryotic cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK's), protein kinases which control cell progression in all eukaryotes. Cyclin-dependent kinases are involved in numerous diseases in human beings like, cancer, stroke, diabe… Show more
