This research isolates endophytic fungi from chilli plants, revealing their morphological characteristics and potential health contributions.

A total of ten fungal endophytes were isolated from healthy chilli plants, indicating a diverse microbial community.
Morphological features like colony color and structure were used to identify fungi, including Trichoderma harzianum and Aspergillus niger.
Pathogenicity tests showed that the isolated endophytes did not cause disease symptoms in chilli plants, suggesting a beneficial relationship.
The study highlights the important role of endophytic fungi in maintaining the health and resilience of chilli crops.

Gitte et al. (2025) studied this question.
