ABSTRACT:
Fungal endophytes are living asymptomatically inside the tissue of higher plants are of rising interest as they are the promising resource of bioactive agents. The current study shows that mycelia sterilia isolated from Boerhaavia diffusa would be a potent phytochemical and antioxidant source. The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of different secondary metabolites and all the fungal extracts exhibited antioxidant activity. There was a positive association between the amount of phenol content and the antioxidant content of the fungal extracts. Further research needs to be done on isolating the active compound accountable for this free radical scavenging activity and biophysical evaluation will be carried out in the future.
