regions of Spain were screened on agar medium containing ABTS. Among more

than one hundred strains of endophytic fungi tested, twenty-one fungal strains

oxidized ABTS at some extent. High ABTS oxidation was observed in eight strains

after 48 h with a higher ratio of green halo and diameter of the colony (DH/DC) and

otherfive strains were observed to produced medium oxidation (DH/DC ratio 1.5–

1.2). However,Pycnoporus sanguineusand Trametessp. I-62 strains (DH/DC
