“…In this world of ever-increasing human population, a large number of antimicrobial drugs are already discovered, but still, there is a need to find out new therapeutic agents due to the emergence of resistant varieties (Karam et al 2016). Fungal endophytes are known to produce a diverse range of bioactive compounds which have been used in the pharmaceuticals and pesticide industries (Rodriguez et al 2000;Onifade 2007). They are studied for their capability of producing antimicrobial compounds in vitro and the results are sometimes even better than the plant itself with exceptionally enhanced antimicrobial potential (Arora and Kour, 2019).…”

Resistance in micro-organisms against antimicrobial compounds is an emerging phenomenon in the modern era as compared to the traditional world which brings new challenges to discover novel antimicrobial compounds from different available sources, such as, medicinal plants, various micro-organisms, like, bacteria, fungi, algae, actinomycetes, and endophytes. Endophytes reside inside the plants without exerting any harmful impact on the host plant along with providing ample of benefits. In addition, they are capable of producing diverse antimicrobial compounds similar to their host, allowing them to serve as useful micro-organism for a range of therapeutic purposes. In recent years, a large number of studies on the antimicrobial properties of endophytic fungi have been carried out globally. These antimicrobials have been used to treat various bacterial, fungal, and viral infections in humans. In this review, the potential of fungal endophytes to produce diverse antimicrobial compounds along with their various benefits to their host have been focused on. In addition, classification systems of endophytic fungi as well as the need for antimicrobial production with genetic involvement and some of the vital novel antimicrobial compounds of endophytic origin can further be utilized in the pharmaceutical industries for various formulations along with the role of nanoparticles as antimicrobial agents have been highlighted.

Neotropical Anacardiaceae (cashew family)

Anacardiaceae is an ecologically and economically important plant family of about 200 species in 32 genera in the Neotropics. The family is particularly diverse in leaf architecture and fruit morphology, making it a model family to study the evolution of structural diversity as it correlates with lineage diversification. This fruit diversity is the primary reason 11 of the Neotropical genera are monotypic and that so many genera are recognized in the Anacardiaceae. The economic value of the family is driven by the global markets for cashews, mangoes, and pistachios, but there is great potential value in its medicinal properties. At least 10 Neotropical genera cause contact dermatitis, which is a rich area for research in the family. Here presented is a review of the systematics and structural diversity of the family. Particular attention is given to the morphology, economic botany, paleobotany, ecology, and taxonomy of native and naturalized genera. Keys to Neotropical Anacardiaceae subfamilies and genera are provided along with descriptions of native genera.

“…A utilização indiscriminada de antibióticos e fungicidas favoreceu o surgimento de micro-organismos multi-resistentes, tantos aqueles que acometem humanos como animais e plantas. Portanto, a descoberta de novos agentes antibacterianos e antifúngicos produzidos por bactérias e fungos endofíticos, principalmente em países de grande biodiversidade, contribuem para que pesquisas relacionadas a compostos bioativos adquiram importância e relevância para a indústria farmacológica, visto a possibilidade de descoberta de novos compostos que poderão, além de combater doenças, gerar dividendos para o país (RODRIGUES et al, 2000).…”
