Abstract

Pyrrhoderma noxium, commonly referred to as the brown root rot pathogen, has previously been recognized as a pathogenic species. However, it has been largely overlooked for its capability to produce useful bioactive compounds. In this study, we report for the first time that the fungus has been isolated as an endophytic fungus (EF) from the leaves of true mangrove plant species, and chemically pro…
