Secondary Metabolites in Stress and Disease Management: A Natural Alternative

Secondary Metabolites in Stress and Disease Management: A Natural Alternative details the sources and diversity of microbial and plant secondary metabolites, the methods used for their detection and extraction, their novel applications in disease management, and inclusion in mainstream therapy. Organized into three main sections, the book begins by discussing the potential of microbes, plants, microalgae, and cyanobacteria as valuable sources of secondary metabolites, their role and mechanisms of action in symbiotic and competitive interactions, extractions and purification strategies, and the means to maximize their production. The book goes on to explore the utility of secondary metabolites in mitigating plant stress and their therapeutic impact on human health management. With contributions from experts in the field, Secondary Metabolites in Stress and Disease Management is a useful interdisciplinary resource for researchers, professors, graduate and postgraduate students, and industry professionals studying applied microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and plant science.
