摘要
The prospect of endophytes capable of producing associated plant natural products with therapeutic potential is undeniable. However, the unyielding struggle so far to transform these potential sources into sustainable microbial manufacturers on a commercial scale has been disappointing. In this Viewpoint, we address this trade-off between endophyte discovery and viable industrial application.
