Chemical Building Blocks in Microbial Chemistry: Foundations of Biosynthesis and Molecular Innovation
Author(s): Natalia I. KowalskaAbstract Chemical building blocks are fundamental molecular units that serve as precursors for complex chemical structures. In microbial chemistry, these building blocks form the basis of metabolic pathways, biosynthetic assemblies, and engineered microbial production systems. Microorganisms utilize simple chemical building blocks such as sugars, amino acids, and organic acids to construct structurally diverse and biologically active molecules. This article examines the role of chemical building blocks in microbial chemistry, highlighting their importance in metabolic organization, pathway engineering, and the sustainable synthesis of value-added compounds.
