Marine endophytic fungi naturally belong to the marine ecosystem. Endophytic fungi from marine plants are adapted to salt tolerance. This phenomenon induces the endophytic fungi to produce bioactive secondary metabolites against disease causing microorganisms. Hence marine endophytic fungi are different in potential compared with terrestrial endophytic fungi.
