Endophytes Crop Productivity and Protection Volume 2 (Sustainable Development and Biodiversity)

endophytic microbes produced production of ligninases derived from Brazilian

mangrove ecosystem. Yang et al. ( 2011 ) explained thatAlcaligenes faecalispro-

duced cellulases and xylanases with higher ability to degrade cellulosic substrate in

a coculture system.

5.5 Conclusion and Perspectives

The scientific community is familiar about endophytic microbes since last two and

half decades with vibrant and potent roles in agriculture, ecology, biotechnology,

and industry. There are still many overlooked and unexplored aspects of these

ecologically unique microorganisms which require special attention on primary

metabolite production in general and enzyme in particular. This consortium of
endophytes (bacteria and fungi) can thrive and capable to live together with host

plants and produced synergistically hydrolytic enzymes for counteracting emerging
