Abstract

This review describes information on the role of endophytic microorganisms and some of naturally occurring bioactive compounds obtained from endophytic fungi isolated from various host plants. In the recent past years, a great deal of information on the role of endophytes in nature has been collected. The main topics addressed are isolation of endophytes, host endophyte relationship, fungal endophyte, their diversity, physiological role of endophyte, biological activities and chemistry. Key words: Endophytic microorganisms, biological activity, endophyte diversity, antioxidation activity.
