• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  i am basically microbiologist, working on bioactive compounds against fungal/bacterial pathogens

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  The term “Antimicrobials” are the substances that are used to inhibit or kill the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. They play a pivotal role in treating and preventing various infectious diseases, in addition to saving patients\' lives, antibiotics have been instrumental in achieving significant improvements in both surgery and medicine. The increasing global spread of resistant microbes threatens the effectiveness of antibiotics, which have revolutionized medicine and saved millions of lives. Antibiotics reduce food-borne illness and other poverty-related illnesses\' morbidity and mortality in developing nations with still-poor sanitation. Natural products are naturally derived metabolites or by-products from microorganisms, plants, or animals, actinomycetes, plant endophytes. Actinomycetes have been recognized natural products, as possible sources of bioactive secondary metabolites. The bioactive metabolites produced by selected organisms will be isolated, purified, and characterized through various analytical techniques. The promising compounds will be evaluated and their complete structural elucidation of the most promising lead molecule will be attempted through different analytical techniques.
