Medicinal Plants Bioactive Compound Microbiota HealthAbstract
Recent studies in Medicinal Plant Research have highlighted that a substantial proportion of phytotherapeutic compounds is generated by their related microbes or through reaction with their host. Medicinal plants generate unique and structurally varied bioactive secondary metabolites because of their own distinct microbiome. The high specificity of related microorganisms is probably a result of these metabolites. This review specifically examines the microbiota of Medicinal Plants and their role in the production of plant antimicrobial compounds, which are essential for health and therapeutic properties, making them valuable resources for application in biotechnology and medicine.
