Post - Tsunamic changes observed in colachel estuary kanyakumari District,Tamil Nadu
Abstract :
There is a need to search for new antimicrobial agents because infectious diseases are still a global problem because of the development and spread of drug-resistant pathogens Novel anticancer drugs are also required due to the high worldwide mortality. Many endophytic fungi were reported to produce novel bioactive metabolites such as antimicrobial, anticancer, and antiviral agents. The discovery of taxol producing fungi increased the importance of endophytes and shifted natural products research to endophytic fungi. Endophytic fungi can provide a wide variety of secondary metabolites that might be a potential source of novel bioactive compounds.
Keywords:
