Chemical investigations of endophytic and fungicolous fungi

Abstract

Fungi continue to serve as valuable sources of a diverse variety of bioactive secondary metabolites, some of which have found applications as important pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Our research group employs an ecology-based strategy for the selection of fungi for chemical studies. The research described here involves chemical investigation of fungicolous and endophytic fungi that resulted in the isolation and identification of many new natural products, as well as some previously
