title: Ability of endophytic filamentous fungi associated with Cinchona ledgeriana to produce Cinchona alkaloids.
abstract: We have investigated the ability of endophytic filamentous fungi associated with Cinchona ledgeriana (Rubiaceae) to produce Cinchona alkaloids on potato dextrose agar medium and in a synthetic liquid medium. It was found that all twenty-one endophytic fungi produce Cinchona alkaloids, despite their genetic differences.
