Medicinal Plants and Their Bacterial Microbiota: A Review on Antimicrobial Compounds Production for Plant and Human Health

摘要: Medicinal plants (MPs) have been used since antiquity in traditional and popular medicine, they represent a very important source of bioactive molecules, including antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal molecules. Such compounds are often plant origin, but some cases, an origin or modification from microbiota has shown. Actually, the research continues to report production molecules by plants, role plant–endophytic interaction is emerging. Classic examples mainly concerned with fungal endophytes; however, it recently shown that bacterial endophytes can also play influencing metabolism related synthesis compounds. In spite this, deep investigation on power MP lacking. Here, overview studies its antimicrobial contributing prime host defense system representing huge resource for biotech therapeutic applications provided.
