Application of photosynthetic bacteria biotransformation in research of Chinese materia medica / 中草药

Microbial transformation technology has been applied in the study of Chinese materia medica (CMM) widely. Photosynthetic bacteria biotransformation in the research of Chinese medicine pharmaceutics has become one of the focuses in the field of microbial transformation technology. In this paper, we summarized the pharmacological activity and pharmacodynamic material bases of CMM metabolized by photosynthetic bacteria, in addition, summarized the mechanism of photosynthetic bacteria biotransformation. We also pointed out the problems needed to be studied in the future.
