Question

Biotransformation in cell culture for secondary metabolite production

Answer 1

This chapter discusses the strategies used to improve metabolite production in cell cultures. ... Commercial production of secondary metabolites by de novo synthesis or by biotransformation of externally fed substrates requires the successful cultivation of plant cells/organs on a large scale.

Hope u like the ans.. Plse Mark me as brainlist

Answer 2

Biotransformations are chemical reactions catalyzed by cells, organs or enzymes and represent an area of biotechnology that has received considerable attention. The use of biotransformations with plant cell culture systems and fragments of plant tissue has immense potential for the production of compounds with commercial interest, especially considering the vast biochemical capability for the production of secondary metabolites from plant sources. In this context, this chapter evaluates the application of biotransformations in different plant cell culture systems, such as cell suspensions, hairy roots and cell immobilization, as well as fragments of plant tissue.
