Abstract:

Endophytes isolated from Glycyrrhiza uralensis have the potential to produce the same, similar or new active metabolites as the host plants. Secondary metabolites of Glycyrrhiza uralensis produced by fermentation with endophytes are not only important for sustainable utilization of Glycyrrhiza uralensis resources but also significant for screening new metabolites. In the past several decades, although the diversity, isolation and identification, pharmacological action, secondary metabolites and other aspects of endophytes from Glycyrrhiza uralensis have been studied and some achievements have been obtained, it is far from meeting the needs of production. As a microbial resource, endophytes from Glycyrrhiza uralensis are an important source of natural products. The study reviewed the research on endophytes from Glycyrrhiza uralensis and their metabolites, and summarized that endophytes from Glycyrrhiza uralensis could produce liquiritin, glycyrrhetinic acid, liquiritigenin and other secondary metabolites. Meanwhile, according to the problems in the research on secondary metabolites of endophytes from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, the study discussed the prospect and provided certain reference for the rational utilization of endophytes from Glycyrrhiza uralensis.

Key words: endophytes from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, diversity, isolation and identification, pharmacological action, secondary metabolites
