Treasures in our backyard: unleashing the biotechnological potentials of endophytic fungi from Tanzanian mangroves.

Endophytic fungi are useful in a variety of biological processes and may find value in pharmaceutical settings. However, there hasn't been much research done on the bioactive compounds produced by mangrove fungal endophytes from the East African coast. Our previous research revealed a significant number of mangrove endophytic fungi in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
