List of Nepenthes endophyte species

This list of Nepenthes endophytes is a listing of endophytes recorded from the internal tissues of Nepenthes pitcher plants; that is, organisms that live within the plants for at least part of their life cycles without causing apparent disease.

Fifteen strains of bacterial endophytes have been isolated from Nepenthes mirabilis plants originating from Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia.[1] (Upper pitcher of N. mirabilis from Kelantan pictured.)

The endophyte species are listed alphabetically and grouped by genus, family, and phylum. Additional information is included in brackets after the strain designation, namely: the host Nepenthes species from which the endophyte has been recorded; the geographical source of the record; and the type of tissue sampled.
