Non-Ribosomal Peptides and Polyketides from Cyanobacteria in Coralloid Roots

By R Rajesh

In this book, D Rajesh explores the world of symbiotically associated cyanobacteria in coralloid roots of the plant species Cycas beddomei Dyer. The author investigates the isolation, extraction, and characterization of non-ribosomal polypeptides and polyketides produced by these cyanobacteria. This research sheds light on the potential of these compounds to have pharmacological properties and their ecological roles in the plant-microbe interaction.

The book delves into the intricate details of the extraction and characterization process, including the use of high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The author also discusses the potential applications of these compounds in the field of medicine, specifically in drug discovery and development.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in the fields of microbiology, biotechnology, and pharmacology, as it provides insights into the potential benefits of symbiotically associated cyanobacteria and their metabolites. It also sheds light on the importance of preserving and studying the unique and complex plant-microbe interactions in our natural ecosystems.
