This book focuses on the importance of omics strategies and de-replication analysis to unveil new molecules from microbial sources with diverse chemical structures and biological functions. Chapters address metabolomics strategies, which will lead to a better understanding of the chemical interactions between microorganisms, plant-microorganisms, and virus-microorganisms. Authors also describe analytical tools used in microbial metabolomics and natural products discovery, in addition to describing a step-by-step protocol to identify and annotate metabolites using various databases and online platforms. The book presents the newest research, tools, and protocols for chemists, biochemists, bio-and chemical engineers, and biotechnologists, among others.

Provides unique framework to utilize new and emerging technologies in research First book to link natural products chemistry and different omics strategies Describes metabolomics approach to understanding chemical structures and biological functions
