Abstract

Fungi reside everywhere on the earth, from the Arctic to the tropics. Fungi are described as an exceptionally capable organism living in extremely inhospitable environments. Fungi also represent a promising biological reservoir for novel chemical entities and open new avenues in the frontiers of drug discovery. This chapter will highlight various bioactive molecules obtained from desert fungi and emphasis recent advanced technological developments that are enabling natural product-based drug discovery from fungi, highlight selected applications, and dis-cuss key opportunities.
