Exploring antibacterial and cytotoxic potential of endophytic Streptomyces isolated from the medicinal plant Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers

Over the past decades, researchers and scientists have paid more and more attention to the discovery of novel antibiotics and anticancer agents in fighting infection and cancer diseases. It is believed that endophytic actinomycetes from medicinal plants provide abundant resources for new compounds with significant bioactive properties. In the present study, we assessed antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of endophytic actinomycetes associated with Litsea cubeba (Lour.) Pers.
