As stated previously, the products of endophytic fungi have been the subject of previous reviews. The compounds addressed previously are summarized in Table 1. Clearly, the compounds are chemically diverse and display a wide range of biological activities.

Varying the fermentation protocols in synthetic media can also greatly affect the production and diversity of secondary metabolites. Adding high levels of one nutrient or trapping another nutrient may result in substantial differences in secondary metabolite production [82]. With this in mind, we examined the production of second metabolites of certain yew-associated endophytes in response to media manipulation. Factors considered were the addition of plant materials to the nutrient broth as well as altering the levels of inorganic salts in a series of extreme fermentation media.
