Growth of Phyllanthus niruri improved with specific endophytic fungi, indicating a beneficial symbiosis.
Isolated 131 fungi from Phyllanthus niruri, with 106 producing indole-3-acetic acid, an important growth hormone.
Cocultivation of P. niruri with certain fungi showed potential to raise biomass and phyllanthin yield effectively.
These findings suggest targeted fungi can act as elicitors to enhance metabolite production in medicinal plants.

Observational analysis revealed increased phyllanthin levels in Phyllanthus niruri, suggesting fungi may enhance specialised metabolites.

Nawfetrias et al. (2025) studied this question.
