Hey Mate!!
Abstract
Virtually all plants are hosts to bacteria and fungi that can be classified as endophytes. Endophytes are 'microbes that colonize living internal tissues of plants without causing any immediate, overt negative effects'. Many endophytes produce a variety of bioactive molecules, which is currently attracting worldwide scientific investigations towards isolation and exploration of their biotechnological promise. In the present study, Withania somnifera (F: Solanaceae) which produces withanine and withanolides used to cure various diseases was selected for exploring the endophytes associated with it.
Hope it helps you!!
