Bioactivity of fungal endophytes as a function of endophyte taxonomy and the taxonomy and distribution of their host plants.
Fungal endophytes--fungi that grow within plant tissues without causing immediate signs of disease--are abundant and diverse producers of bioactive secondary metabolites. Endophytes associated with leaves of tropical plants are an especially exciting and relatively untapped source of novel compounds...
