The selection of marine algae and surface sterilization is the critical part while working with endophytic fungus isolation. In this present investigation six green algae and three brown algae were collected from Thoonithurai,

These strategies include; 1) searching about unique fungal sources as the deep-sea, hydrothermal vents, hyper saline water bodies and hypoxic environments, offshore waters, and oil polluted regions which are prospective to be a host for endophytes with unusual bioactive products are recommended in upcoming years [31], 2) the culture-independent ...

Over the past few years, several metabolites produced by seaweed derived-endophytic fungi or other organisms have shown potent antitumor effects, which have been evaluated by different mechanisms, such as the ability to kill cancer cells with low or no toxicity to healthy host cells, blocking key enzymes, stimulating the pathways of death, or ...

Thus, this study focused on a frequent seaweed in the Portuguese coast, Halopteris scoparia, to identify the endophytic marine fungi associated with this host, and assess their ability to biosynthesise secondary metabolites with antioxidative, enzymatic inhibitory (hyaluronidase, collagenase, elastase and tyrosinase), anti-inflammatory ...

About 100 endophytic fungi are known from the seaweeds distributed worldwide, and up to 75% of them have been reported from the Baltic Sea, Canada, China, India, North Sea, and the United...
