Endophytes are important source of natural bioactive products because these fungal endophytes are able to take unique biological and ecological niches and grow in nonordinary environments. Many natural bioactive compounds produced by medicinal plants are reportedly produced by their fungal endophytes. Spilanthes paniculata (locally called Marsang in Arunachal Pradesh) is known to possess medicinal properties. In the present study, the endophytic mycoflora of S. paniculata was studied. | First report on biological evaluation and preliminary screening of fungal endophytes from spilanthes paniculata a medicinal herb in Arunachal Pradesh India
