Free Download Microbial Bioactive Compounds: Industrial and Agricultural Applications
English | 2023 | ISBN: 303140081X | 563 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 13 MB
Divided into 16 chapters, the book covers a wide range of topics, starting with the emerging trends in microbial production techniques, followed by the potential of fungi and algae in producing bioactive compounds, and the applications of bioactive compounds in medicine, agriculture, and industry. Contributions from expert scientists emphasize the significance of metabolic engineering and modern analytical techniques for the extraction, purification, and structural characterization of microbial bioactive compounds. The authors also present alternative technologies and methodologies for the recovery and extraction of these compounds from microbial sources and highlight the health-promoting benefits of natural plant-derived bioactive compounds. Particular attention is given to nanocarriers and their potential for managing the delivery of bioactive compounds in therapeutic applications. The importance of actinomycetes and their bioactive potential in the agricultural sector is also discussed. In this book, readers will also find out about the importance of microbial community dynamics in Antarctica, their ecological potential, and their industrial application. The last chapter of the book offers an industrial perspective of microbial pigments and their applications.

Biosynthesis of Bioactive Compounds in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants


Free Download Biosynthesis of Bioactive Compounds in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Manipulation by Conventional and Biotechnological Approaches by Nitish Kumar, Ravi S. Singh
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 432 Pages | ISBN : 3031352203 | 50 MB
Plant bioactive compounds are plant-based natural products that display a variety of pharmacological applications. These bioactive compounds are important as medicines, pigments and flavorings since most of the pharmaceutical industries are highly dependent on medicinal plants and their extraction. The types and concentrations of bioactive compounds produced by plants are determined by the species, genotype, physiology, developmental stage and environmental factors during growth, determining the physiological adaptive responses employed by various plant taxonomic groups in coping with the stress and defensive stimuli. In the past two decades there has been a renewed interest in the study of conventional aspects such as elicitors and biotic and abiotic stress factors that influence secondary metabolism during in vitro and in vivo growth of plants. the application of molecular biology tools and techniques are facilitating increased understanding of the signaling processes and pathways involved in the bioactive compounds production in subcellular, cellular, organ and whole plant systems during in vivo and in vitro growth, with application in the metabolic engineering of biosynthetic pathways intermediates.

Bioactive Compounds Against SARS-CoV-2


Free Download Bioactive Compounds Against SARS-CoV-2
by Jen-Tsung Chen

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032347996 | 294 pages | True PDF | 17.41 MB
Coronaviruses can cause illness, severe disease, and death; for example, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and COVID-19. Vaccine development and antiviral drugs are challenged by the propensity for viral mutations allowing these viruses to evade such therapies. There are a number of bioactive compounds from natural sources, which can exert health benefits and act as antiviral therapies such as anti-inflammation, antioxidative stress, and immune regulation. This book summarizes research on the potential efficacy and underlying mechanisms of bioactive compounds and traditional medicines against SARS-CoV-2.
