Cover illustration:
The functional network analysis shows interaction of proteins (circular) with metabolites (capsule-shaped) to show how the small molecules activated, inhibited, bound, or catalyzed the protein partners. Fungal isolates of marine origin Aspergillus sp. GSBT S13 and Aspergillus sp. S14 were compared to Aspergillus fumigatus volatilome and common metabolites were identified using an isolate of plant origin, Bulbithecium sp. GSBT E3 to identify common metabolites and pathways (see this issue, jobm.202400210).
