Metabolite profiling is critical in many aspects of the life sciences, particularly natural product
research. Obtaining precise information on the chemical composition of complex natural …

Natural product research aims to characterize specialized metabolites from various living
organisms and assess their biological properties from either a chemical ecology or drug …

Microorganisms form diverse multispecies communities in various ecosystems. The high
abundance of fungal and bacterial species in these consortia results in specific …

Endophytic fungi became an attractive source for the discovery of new leads, because of the
complexity and the structural diversity of their secondary metabolites. The genus Fusarium …

Natural products (NPs) are considered as a cornerstone for the generation of bioactive leads
in drug discovery programs. However, one of the major limitations of NP drug discovery …

The application of microbial co-cultures is now recognized in the fields of biotechnology,
