DOI: 10.1186/s12862-017-0886-2
Abstract: BackgroundMicrobes, plants, and fungi synthesize an enormous number of metabolites exhibiting rich chemical diversity. For a high-level classification, metabolism is subdivided into primary (PM) and secondary (SM) metabolism. SM products are often not essential for… read more here.
