Abstract
Previous studies have shown that individual, isolated microorganisms may influence secondary metabolism of plants and induce or stimulate the production of medicinally relevant secondary metabolism. Here, we analyzed the microbiome-metabolome linkage of the medicinal plant Alkanna tinctoria , which is known to produce valuable compounds, particularly the naphthoquinones alkannin and shikonin and their derivatives.
