A total of 194 fungal endophytes were isolated from wild medicinal plants in Thailand. Cancer-inhibitory asparaginases from 15 selected endophytic strains were tested for their anti-proliferation activity against two cancer cell lines. The endophytic fungi were asparaginase sources which were devoid...
