Natural products have long been a source of inspiration for biotechnology applications. Over the years, scientists have discovered numerous molecules from natural sources that have remarkable therapeutic properties. These compounds have been used in traditional medicine for centuries and continue to play a significant role in modern medicine. With advancements in biotechnology, researchers are now exploring new ways to use natural products to treat a variety of diseases. In this article, we will discuss some of the emerging biotechnology applications of natural products. Natural products have been used for centuries to treat infections. Many plants produce compounds that have antibacterial and antiviral properties. These compounds have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of infections, including bacterial and viral infections. In recent years, researchers have been exploring new ways to use these natural products to develop new antibiotics and antiviral agents.
