It has been known that endophytes release novel chemical structures that protect their host plant from foreign pathogens. Some of these structures have also shown anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-cancer activity in other organisms. For this study the Rumex crispus plant was selected due to its natural medicinal uses. The endophytes were extracted from their ?Rumex crispus ?host, their bioactive compounds are isolated utilizing separation methods and various chromatography techniques, and their chemical composition is determined through multiple spectroscopic methods. The effects of environmental pollutants on the production of the novel compounds produced by the endophytes is studied.
