ENDOPHYTES: A SOURCE OF BIOACTIVE METABOLITES

There is a continuous need to search an alternative source for potential natural bioactive agents for curing of various types of diseases. Comparison between bioactive compounds obtained from the plants, microbes and endophytes were studied. But the most promising source and an extremely unusual organic molecules which proved to be valuable are produced by the endophytes. They are sources of novel chemistry and biology studies which will help to solve the problems in human and plant.
