Abstract:Endophytic fungi have been frequently detected in various plant species, but an understanding of the characteristics and biological properties of endophytic fungi of Capsicum annuum L. seeds has not yet been carried out. The present work was designed to isolate the endophytic fungi associated with the seeds of C. annuum L. and a preliminary assessment of the antimicrobial activity of the crude metabolites produced by the isolated endophytes against some human test pathogens. The healthy seeds, after surface st… Show more
