endophytic fungus

Endophytic fungi is a kind of microbial resources, has broad application prospect can produce rich, novel structure, high bioactive secondary metabolites. In recent years, structurally novel compounds have been isolated from endophytic fungi, which have become an important source in the search for active lead compounds. Many studies have shown that endophytic fungi not only produce the same or similar secondary bioactive metabolites as their host plants, but also synthesize many other bioactive metabolites, indicating that endophytic fungi have great potential for development.
