Endophytes are rich source of natural products displaying broad spectrum of biological activities like anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-arthritis and anti-inflammatory.Įndophytic fungi Ascomycota Natural products AntidiabeticĪlternaria, Cladosporium, Chaetomium, Curvularia, Drechslera ,Scopulariopsis,Acremonium, Aspergillus, Colletotrichum, Fusarium, Paecilomyces,Penicillium.Īlternaria sp., Colletotrichum sp., Phomopsis sp., Xylaria sp.,Īrtemisia capillaris, A. EFare considered as the hidden members of the microbial world and represent an underutilized resource for new therapeutics and compounds. Endophytes are fertile ground for drug discovery. Recently, the genome sequencing technology has emerged as one of the most efficient tools that can provide whole information of a genome in a small period of time. These organisms mainly consist of members of the Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Zygomycota and Oomycota. Bioactive compounds produced by endophytes main function are helping the host plants to resist external biotic and abiotic stress, which benefit the host survival in return. Plant-endophyte interaction and endophyte -endophyte interactions study provide insights into mutualism and metabolite production by fungi. Endophytic fungi (EF) are an important source for novel, potential and active metabolites. Fungal endophytes constitute a major part of the unexplored fungal diversity.
