comparative and functional bio prospection of bacterial endophytes of ocimum sanctum from two different agro cropping systems

Abstract

In addition to providing a testament to the wisdom that is inherent in Hinduism and Ayurveda, which celebrates Tulsi as a plant that can be worshipped, ingested, made into tea, and used for medicinal and spiritual purposes within daily life, modern day scientific research into tulsi demonstrates the numerous psychological and physiological benefits that can be gained from consuming tulsi. The cultivation of tulsi extends beyond providing advantages for people and families and starts to address bigger social, economic, and environmental challenges. This is because it gives a focus for agricultural techniques that are ethical, sustainable, and ecological, and it also provides a livelihood for thousands of farmers. newlineWhen it comes to the treatment of a variety of illnesses, there is an immediate need to discover secondary metabolites that are produced from natural sources. The endophyte has been recognised as an essential source for the creation of secondary metabolites, and it has also been recognised as the model for determining the metabolic route of those compounds that are originated spontaneously. The studies that were discussed before indicate that endophytes play a significant part in the production of pharmaceutically significant chemicals that are comparable to the molecules that their host produces. On the other hand, there is still a long way to go before the commercial manufacturing of the naturally derived substance could be considered successful. With the help of this review, we have attempted to throw some light on the relationship between desert plants and fungal endophytes. The Thar Desert in Rajasthan is recognised for its dry habitat, which is a rich repository of ethnomedicinal plants. These plants are employed not only as a herbal medication, but also as a possible source of gum, resin, essential oils, tannin, and other substances. A multitude of pharmaceutically significant chemicals, including alkaloids, peptides, flavonoids, phenolics, taxol, camptothecin, and others, have been identified from
