“…Magnolol is a traditional Chinese medicine derived from Magnolia officinalis Cortex that displays potent antibacterial-, antifungal-, anti-inflammatory-, and antioxidant activities ( Zhang et al., 2019 ). Magnolol or its derivatives have remarkable antibacterial and antifungal activities against Candida albicans ( Behbehani et al., 2017 ; Xie et al., 2022 ), Streptococcus mutans ( Greenberg et al., 2007 ); Staphylococcus aureus ( Guo et al., 2021 ), Alternaria alternata ( Wang et al., 2020 ), Rhizoctonia solani ( Mo et al., 2021 ), Fusarium ( Oufensou et al., 2019 ), Magnaporthe grisea ( Choi et al., 2009 ), and Penicillium expansum ( Chen et al., 2019 ). Magnolol could damage the integrity of fungal cells and interfere with cell metabolism to inhibit the growth of R. solani and A. alternata ( Wang et al., 2020 ; Mo et al., 2021 ).…”
