Author Description

<p>Research into plant-based antifungals offers a viable alternative to discover potent, eco-friendly, and sustainable treatments. Natural antifungal compounds offer a promising solution, as they tend to have fewer side effects and reduced risk of resistance development compared to synthetic alternatives.This book delves into the application of metagenomics in identifying and harnessing the microbial communities associated with medicinal plants. By integrating bioprospecting techniques with cutting-edge genomic technologies, this work opens up promising new avenues to provide insights into the potential of natural products for developing novel antifungal therapies.</p><p><b>Key Features</b></p><ul> <li>An A-to-Z guide for anyone in chemical research, the text offers practical information grounded in scientific principles.</li> <li>Provides end-of-chapter problems for additional study.</li> <li>An inclusive international approach highlights contributions of scientists from around the world.</li> <li>An excellent, user friendly and thought-provoking presentation which will appeal to students with little or no science background.</li> <li>This text focuses on chemistry but is a valuable guide and resource for research in other sciences including biology, environmental science, geology, physics, and more.</li> </ul>
