Fungal Metabolites de Jean-Michel Mérillon

Fungal Metabolites: Reference Series in Phytochemistry

Editat de Jean-Michel Mérillon, Kishan Gopal Ramawat
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 feb 2017

Remarcăm în Fungal Metabolites o abordare interdisciplinară riguroasă, care conectează chimia organică, biotehnologia, biologia vegetală și medicina într-o sinteză de peste o mie de pagini. Lucrarea nu se limitează la descrierea structurală a metaboliților, ci investighează mecanismele complexe de biosinteză și potențialul lor în industria farmaceutică și agricolă. Considerăm că această ediție princeps din 2017 stabilește un nou standard pentru seria Reference Series in Phytochemistry, oferind o perspectivă tehnică asupra modului în care produsele naturale fungice pot fi utilizate ca agenți anticancer sau modulatori în interacțiunile cu insectele.

Structura volumului este organizată progresiv, începând cu biologia moleculară a clusterelor de gene și terminând cu producția la scară industrială. Capitolele dedicate biosintezei alcaloizilor din ergot și strategiilor de activare a genelor „tăcute” (silent gene clusters) în fungii filamentoși indică o acoperire detaliată a celor mai recente progrese din genetică. Această lucrare completează perspectiva oferită de Fungal Secondary Metabolites de Heba I. Mohamed, adăugând o componentă solidă de sănătate publică prin analiza detaliată a aflatoxinelor și a metodelor de detoxifiere în lanțul alimentar.

În contextul operei editorilor, Fungal Metabolites reprezintă o evoluție firească de la studiul general al plantelor medicinale din Natural Products către microorganismele specializate. Dacă în Bioactive Molecules in Food accentul era pus pe impactul nutrițional, aici editorii Jean-Michel Mérillon și Kishan Gopal Ramawat explorează mecanismele microbiene profunde, păstrând rigoarea științifică specifică publicațiilor Springer.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această lucrare cercetătorilor și studenților avansați care au nevoie de o resursă definitivă despre chimia fungică. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă atât a beneficiilor (compuși terapeutici, biotehnologie industrială), cât și a pericolelor reprezentate de micotoxine. Este un instrument esențial pentru cei care lucrează la intersecția dintre microbiologie și farmacologie, oferind date concrete pentru proiectarea de noi strategii în sinteza microbiană.

Despre autor

Jean-Michel Mérillon și Kishan Gopal Ramawat sunt academicieni de renume, colaboratori frecvenți în cadrul seriei de referință a editurii Springer. Mérillon, cu o expertiză vastă în fitochimie, și Ramawat, specialist în biotehnologia plantelor, au coordonat numeroase volume care explorează moleculele bioactive. Contribuția lor în Fungal Metabolites reflectă o carieră dedicată documentării sistematice a metaboliților secundari, extinzându-și aria de expertiză de la plante la regnul fungic, cu un interes constant pentru aplicațiile practice în medicină și agricultură.

Descriere scurtă

This handbook compiles authoritative information about fungal metabolites and their chemistry and biotechnology. The first in the reference work series “Phytochemicals”, and written by a team of international expert authors, this book provides reference information ranging from the description of fungal natural products, over their use e.g. as anticancer agents, to microbial synthesis, even spanning to the production of secondary metabolites on industrial scale. On the other hand it also describes global health issues related to aflatoxin production in foods and agriculture, including perspectives for detoxification. The handbook characterizes different compound classes derived from fungal secondary metabolites, like ergot alkaloids and aflatoxins. The discussion puts a special emphasis on how potentially useful compounds can be obtained and what applications they can find, on the one hand, and how potential dangers can be encountered on the other hand. The comprehensive chapters in this handbook will thus appeal to readers from diverse backgrounds in chemistry, biology, life sciences, and even medicine, who are working or planning to work with fungal (secondary) metabolites and their application. They provide the readers with rich sources of reference information on important topics in this field.

Cuprins

From the Contents: Biosynthesis of the ergot alkaloids.- Toward awakening cryptic secondary metabolite gene clusters in filamentous fungi.- Fungal secondary metabolites - strategies to activate silent gene clusters.- Phytotoxic secondary metabolites and peptides produced by plant pathogenic fungi.

Notă biografică

Professor Dr. Jean-Michel Merillon is the « Directeur de l’EA 3675 (Groupe d’Etude des Substances Vegetales à Activité Biologique + Polyphenols Biotech) », at the Faculte de Pharmacie, Universite de Bordeaux, Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin, in Villenave d’Ornon, France. He received his M.Pharma. (1979) and Ph.D. (1984) from the University of Tours in France. He joined the University of Tours as assistant professor in 1981, became associate professor in 1987. In 1993 he moved to the faculty of Pharmacy, University of Bordeaux, France, accepting a position as full professor. He is currently leading the “study group on biologically active plant substances” at the Institute of Vine and Wine Sciences, which comprises 25 scientists and research students.
