Isolation and screening for the endophytic fungal isolates of E. whitelockii leaves. A Morphological view of E. whitelockii. B Plate cultures of the recovered fungal endophytes. (1. Penicillium citrinum, 2. Fusarium solani, 3. Aspergillus niger, 4. A. awamori, 5. A. candidus, 6. Cladosporium sp., 7.A. flavus and 8. A.fumigaus). C The TLC plate of the extracted Taxol from the fungal isolates normalizing to authentic Taxol. D Yield of Taxol as quantified from the TLC chromatograms. E HPLC chromatogram of the TLC purified Taxol from A. niger, and F. solani, compared to the authentic Taxol at retention time 4.4 min. The yield of Taxol from the HPLC chromatograms for A. niger and F. solani were about 173 and 55 μg/L, that being matched with the TLC analysis
