Endolichenic Fungi: Present and Future Trends

  • 384 Accesses

Abstract

Studies on endolichenic fungi and their secondary metabolites were started in recent past and in light of the published literature endolichenic fungi can be considered as a potential area for research. These fungi can contribute in the search for hidden fungal diversity and bio-prospection of their secondary metabolites is the proof of their significance as bio-control agents for a wide range of diseases. This chapter points out various possible queries about these intriguing creatures and their possible explanation in detail.
