Amelioration of biomass and lipid in marine alga by an endophytic fungus .

Background: Many studies have been carried out on the growth-modulating efficiency of plants by the colonization of an endophytic fungus However, studies involving the co-culture of alga with endophytic fungal strains for enhanced biodiesel production are rare. In this study, the interaction between and -I, a marine algal strain, was assessed at metabolic level.

Results: In association with an endophytic fungus, the algal biomass enhanced from 471.
