Oomycetes of the genus encompass several of the most successful plant pathogens described to date. The success of infection by species is attributed to the pathogens' ability to secrete effector proteins that alter the host's physiological processes. Structural analyses of effector proteins mainly from bacterial and viral pathogens have revealed the presence of intrinsically disordered regions that host short linear motifs (SLiMs).

Background: Endophytes, especially those that are found from ethnopharmacologically noteworthy medicinal plants have attracted attention due to their diverse bioactive metabolites of pharmacological importance.

Methods: This study aimed at isolating endophytic bacterium from the leaves of Anredera cordifolia CIX1 for its bioactive metabolites. The endophytic isolates were identified by 16S rRNA sequence and investigated for antibiotic sensitivity using different antibiotics.
