Bioactive Compounds in Mangroves and Their Associates
暫譯: 紅樹林及其相關物種中的生物活性化合物

這本參考書提供了紅樹林生態系統的化學和生物活性的全面概述，重點介紹其專門代謝物和生物活性。透過這本書，讀者將發現來自紅樹林植物的新型次級代謝物及其在各個領域的潛在應用。

各章節涵蓋了廣泛的主題，包括特定紅樹林物種的植物化學和生物活性，如 Acanthus ilicifolius、Avicennia marina 和 Rhizophora mucronata。章節作者對這些物種中發現的生物活性化合物進行了專業分析，探討其藥理學和毒理學特性。特別關注某些化合物的抗癌活性，以及紅樹林相關細菌和真菌在健康管理和生物修復中的作用。讀者還將接觸到有關從紅樹林合成納米材料及其抗微生物特性的討論。

這本書是植物學、藥理學和環境科學領域研究者、學者和實務工作者的重要資源。它邀請讀者思考有關紅樹林的生態和藥用意義的關鍵問題，並提供來自專家貢獻者的多元觀點。

Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy is a Professor in the Post-Graduate Department of Botany, Karnatak University, Dharwad, India, and he is also a Professor at the KLE Technological University, Hubballi, India. He has a tremendous passion for research and academics. Since, 1986, Prof. Murthy has served in various positions in the Post-Graduate Department of Botany, at Karnatak University, Dharwad, India. Apart from teaching experience in the area of plant biotechnology. Prof. Murthy has post-doctoral and collaborative research experience in many foreign research institutes. He worked at Biotechnology Division, Tata Energy Research Institute, New Delhi, India (1992); Crop Science Department, University of Guelph, Guelph, Canada (1993); Research Centre for the Development of Horticultural Technology, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, South Korea (2000-2001; 2002, 2004, 2006-2007, 2013-2014; 2022-2024); and Department of Biological Sciences, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom (2005-2006) as a post-doctoral fellow/visiting scientist. Prof. Murthy is the recipient of various prestigious fellowships including Biotechnology National Associate and Biotechnology Overseas Associate (awarded by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India), Brian Pool Fellowship (awarded by Korean Society of Science and Technology, South Korea), visiting fellowship (awarded by Korean Science and Engineering Foundation, South Korea), Commonwealth Post-doctoral Fellowship (awarded by Korean Association of Commonwealth Universities, UK). He has completed more than 15 research projects funded by various agencies and supervised 22 Ph.D. students Prof. Murthy has published 285 research articles in international peer-reviewed journals with high impact factors. His research has been cited more than 6500 times by fellow researchers and his H-index (Hirsch Index) of 42 as recorded by Scopus. Prof. Murthy has developed biotechnological methods for the production of pharmaceutically important secondary metabolites from cell and organ cultures of ginseng, Siberian ginseng, Echinacea, and St. John's wort using large-scale bioreactors along with South Korean collaborators. His experimental investigations on the use of adventitious root cultures in bioreactor technologies for the production of biomass and secondary metabolites have paved the way for the commercialization of plant-based pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.

霍薩卡特·尼蘭詹納·穆爾提是印度達爾瓦德卡納塔克大學植物學研究所的教授，同時也是印度哈布巴利KLE科技大學的教授。他對研究和學術有著極大的熱情。自1986年以來，穆爾提教授在達爾瓦德卡納塔克大學植物學研究所擔任過多個職位。除了在植物生物技術領域的教學經驗外，穆爾提教授還在許多國外研究機構擁有博士後和合作研究的經驗。他曾在印度新德里的塔塔能源研究所生物技術部（1992年）、加拿大圭爾夫大學作物科學系（1993年）、韓國忠北國立大學園藝技術發展研究中心（2000-2001年；2002年、2004年、2006-2007年、2013-2014年；2022-2024年）以及英國諾丁漢大學生物科學系（2005-2006年）擔任博士後研究員/訪問科學家。穆爾提教授獲得了多項著名的獎學金，包括由印度科學技術部頒發的生物技術國家助理和生物技術海外助理、由韓國科學技術學會頒發的布萊恩·普爾獎學金、由韓國科學與工程基金會頒發的訪問獎學金，以及由英國英聯邦大學協會頒發的英聯邦博士後獎學金。他已完成超過15個由各機構資助的研究項目，並指導了22名博士生。穆爾提教授在國際同行評審的高影響因子期刊上發表了285篇研究文章。他的研究被同行引用超過6500次，根據Scopus記錄的H指數（Hirsch Index）為42。穆爾提教授開發了從人參、西伯利亞人參、紫錐花和聖約翰草的細胞和器官培養中生產藥用重要次級代謝物的生物技術方法，並與韓國的合作夥伴一起使用大型生物反應器。他對在生物反應器技術中使用不定根培養物以生產生物質和次級代謝物的實驗研究，為植物基藥物和營養補充品的商業化鋪平了道路。
