Recent Patents on Endophytic Fungi and Their International Market

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

An endophytic fungus is a very great microbe that can grow in all parts of plant, root, stem, leaf, and fruit. These fungi are alive inside the plant as symbiosis or mutualism. Through the life cycle of this type of fungi inside plant is coming from secreting secondary metabolite compounds that possible utilizing for plant and other fields. Many of these compounds can be a novel product. Therefore, this chapter offers the patents recently to show its importance for plants, industry, medicine, and ecosystem. Patents showed some of the novel isolates as genera Neotyphodium sp., Muscodor sp., Curvularia sp., and Fusarium sp. Also, many natural compounds were discovered as pyrrolizidine alkaloid, pericoannosin A, praeruptorin C, cytosporaphenone A, etc. There are many companies using these patents prepared in special formula to sell in international markets. This possibility is helpful to enhance the resistance of plants and humans from diseases without occurrence of any collateral damages. The international markets and research centers work together with patent may bring several new products of new strains or isolates and also new secondary metabolites of endophytic fungi to the markets. That can utilizing in different industries like as biopesticdes, and others that useful and to get the consumer confidence.
