Isolation and identification of Endophytic Fungi of Pandanus sp. and Alpinia sp. from Reserve Forest UiTM Negeri Sembilan / Nor’Aishah Hasan and Maizura Zaini

Endophytes are an endosymbiont that colonize in plant without causing apparent disease. Medicinal plants have been proven as a host to endophytes fungi thus providing a rich reservoir of bioactive compounds. However, there is lack information available about medicinal plants associated endophytes. T...
