Sustainable production of camptothecin from an Alternaria sp. isolated from Nothapodytes nimmoniana

Abstract Camptothecin the third most in demand alkaloid, is commercially extracted in India from the endangered plant, Nothapodytes nimmoniana. Endophytes, the microorganisms that reside within plants, are reported to have the ability to produce host–plant associated metabolites. Hence, our research...
