Screening of secondary metabolites and antioxidant potential of endophytic fungus Penicillium citrinum and host Digitaria bicornis by spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods

Fungal Endophytes: Microfactories of Novel Bioactive Compounds with Therapeutic Interventions; A Comprehensive Review on the Biotechnological Developments in the Field of Fungal Endophytic Biology over the Last Decade

“…In the last thirty years, a wide range of bioactive compounds with potential in healthcare and medicine have been discovered from endophytic fungi. These compounds exhibit various properties such as antimicrobial [1,3,18], anticancer [33,34], antioxidant [35][36][37][38], anti-inflammatory [39,40], antidiabetic [41][42][43], and immunosuppressive activities [44][45][46][47]. The abundance of such biologically active metabolites derived from endophytic fungi highlights their importance as a valuable source of potential therapeutic substances [3][4][5]18,22,34] ties [44][45][46][47].…”

Anti-larvicidal antimicrobial and cytotoxic effect of endophytic fungus Alternaria macrospora isolated from Trichillia connaroides

“…Trichoderma harzianum is known to control tomato gray mould resulting from Botrytis cinerea, without fungicide resistance and environmentally benign (Pan et al 2016). Of late, the endophytic fungal species Penicillium citrinum from Digitaria bicornis, Diaporthe longicolla from Saraca asoca were reported to possess antioxidant and antibacterial activities (Nishad et al 2021); (Nischitha and Shivanna 2022). The lamentous fungi possess a few advantages: clean to handle; require easy vitamins, own excessive wall-binding capability and green intracellular metal uptake competencies (Dias et al 2002).…”
