H Nisa, AN Kamili, IA Nawchoo, S Shafi… - Microbial …, 2015 - Elsevier
Endophytic fungi are those that live internally in apparently healthy and asymptomatic hosts.
Endophytic fungi appear to be ubiquitous; indeed, no study has yet shown the existence of a
plant species without endophytes. High species diversity is another characteristic of
endophytic mycobiota which is depicted by the fact that it is quite common for endophyte
surveys to find assemblages consisting of more than 30 fungal species per host plant
species. Medicinal plants had been used to isolate and characterize directly the bioactive …
