Abstract
Plant-derived natural products are a class of secondary metabolites with complex structures and diverse properties, which are widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields. At present, the main source of plant-derived natural products is direct extraction from plants, which is time consuming and farming land occupying. Microbial synthesis has been studied to produce plant-derived natural products for the advantages of short growth cycle, mature manipulating methods and controllable large-scale fermentation. Nowadays, it has attracted many attentions to achieve biosynthesis and transformation of plant-derived natural products employing microbial cells. Many kinds of natural products such as terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids and saponins have been successfully synthesized in microbes. In this review, the applications of microbial cell factories in the synthesis of plant-derived natural products have been summarized as well as different strategies, which will be helpful for the systematic and in-depth study in the synthesis and transformation of plant-derived natural products.
