Abstract
We review the occurrence of fungal endophytes in marine organisms, in particular of seaweeds and mangrove plants, and compare them to obligate or marine-derived fungi. The ability of endophytes to produce a wide range of new or novel bioactive compounds is also discussed.
Keywords: bioactive compounds; fungal endophytes; mangrove trees; obligate and marine-derived fungi; seagrasses; seaweeds
