Microbial Hormones

Comprehensive and applied studies on animal and plant hormones have been ‎carried out so far. But there has been little research on microbial hormones and ‎has not yet reached the practical stage. Microbial hormones have been shown to ‎increase the production of beneficial secondary metabolites such as antibiotics as ‎well as to inhibit the production of harmful secondary metabolites by human, ‎animal, and plant pathogenic microbes. According to the importance and role of microbial hormones and very little research in this field, extensive and fundamental research on microbial hormones can be done. The results of this research can be used in medical microbiology to prevent microbial pathogenicity and in microbial biotechnology to produce commercially valuable metabolites.
