Abstract: Endophytes are microorganisms which present inner parts of plant tissues, without causing any adverse effect. The purpose of this work is to investigate the potentials of phytochemical, antimicrobial, larvicidal activity and study the relatedness of endosymbionts in medicinal plant (Punica granatum). Phytochemical activity shows the presence of alkaloids, tannin, protein, amino acid, carbohydrates, coumarin, saponin, leucoanthrocyanin whereas emodine, Phcobatannin are absent. The antimicrobial activities of crude fungal methanol extract are tested against gram positive and gram negative bacteria by well diffusion method. It show a inhibition zone against test bacteria and in plant leaf solvent extract of ethanol, chloroform, acetone, water are examine for its antimicrobial activity against test organism. Symbiotic relationship of host- microbes revealed that has good relationship between fungi and host bacteria.
