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.

Key Features:

• Combines bioprospecting, microbiology, plant science, and genomic technologies to unlock the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants for antifungal applications.
• Contains comprehensive coverage of metagenomics tools and advanced bioprocessing methods.
• Covers the practical applications for drug development and sustainable solutions for emerging fungal threats.
• Addresses the urgent global health challenge posed by emerging and resistant fungal pathogens, providing new strategies and potential solutions through the bioprospecting of plant-associated microbes.
• Provides an innovative approach to antifungal discovery and focuses on emerging fungal infections.
