Bioactive molecules from fungal endophytes and their applications in pharmaceutical industries: challenges and future scope.

Medicinal plants are an important source of bioactive compounds and have been used to isolate various bioactive compounds having industrial applications. The demand for plants derived bioactive molecules is increasing gradually. However, the extensive use of these plants to extract bioactive molecules has threatened many plant species.

Antimicrobial potential of endophytic fungi isolated from L. and identification of bioactive molecules produced by (Undrew.) Murril.

The present study evaluated the antibacterial potential of endophytic fungi isolated from L. and identified bioactive compounds responsible for their antimicrobial activity. A total of twenty-five endophytic fungi were preliminarily screened for their antibacterial activity against human pathogenic bacteria, i.
