I'm working on metabolites of endophytic fungi with antibacterial and anticancer properties. Can anybody suggest whether intracellular extracts or extracellular extracts will have better activity?
Yes! I have very good unpublished result as endophytic fungi biotransform new compunds which have better antiaging activities in Caenorhabditis elegans model system.
These fungi improve the fertility of soil but without testing you do not use for medicinal purposes , may be have more potential as medicinal properties due presence of more active enzymes
