Antioxidant is an interesting bioactivity since it has several correlations with disease such as Alzheimer, cancer, ageing and many others in which were promoted by free radicals. Investigation on our endophytic fungus collection namely Fennelia nivea NRRL 5504 revealed that the fermented mediumhas antioxidant property against DPPH through free radical scavenging effect. Fermentation in liquid medium i.e. Potatoes Dextrose Broth, resulted that the fermented medium reached about 86.51% (p < 0.05) of free radical inhibition on the eighth day. Results ofphytochemical screening from extracted fermentation medium showed the presence of terpenes, triterpenes, phenolic compound, tannin, flavonoid and also saponin. The highest antioxidant activity was showed by ethyl acetate extract. Calculation on total phenolic content of ethyl acetate crude extract was 0.544 mg g(-1) equivalent to pyrogallol. By exposure above, we have alternative source of antioxidant that came from our endophytic fungus collection which we isolated previously from Typhonium divaricatum Lodd.

The exploration of new pharmacological compounds from endophytic fungi offers infinite possibilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of extracts from the leaves of and five of its endophytic fungi and investigate the chemical diversity of the secondary metabolites produced. Isolated, purified, and molecularly identified endophytes and plant leaves were subjected to ethyl acetate extraction.

Plant-associated fungi often drive plant invasion success by increasing host growth, disease resistance, and tolerance to environmental stress. A high abundance of asymptomatically accumulated in the leaves of . In this study, we aimed to clarify whether three genetically distinct endophytic isolates (AX39, AX115, and AX198) activate invasive plant defenses against disease and environmental stress.

Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a critical issue due to the widespread and indiscriminate use of antibiotics and antifungals to treat common infections, leading to a growing shortage of effective drugs. Moreover, the increase in antimicrobial resistance is enhancing the pathogenicity and virulence of various pathogens. Microorganisms are key sources of chemically diverse specialized metabolites, which are produced in the final stages of their growth cycle.
