Cytotoxic endophyte from Camellia oleifera Abel - Penicillium chermesinum NR121310.

ABSTRACT: Ten unknown endophytes were isolated from several parts of Camellia oleifera Abel and their biological activities were studied. One endophyte, Tea2-L1, showed the highest inhibition in various antioxidant capacity assay and cytotoxicity assays. The phylogenetic study suggested that Tea2-L1 endophyte is identified as Penicillium chermesinum NR121310 species. This shows the importance of the Penicillium species as a potential drug source.
