Aim:The present investigation focuses on the screening of various enzymes produced by fungal endophytes isolated from various marine algae. Materials & Method:Five different types of green algae and two brown algae were collected from Thoonithurai, Mandapam, and Rameswaram regions and subjectedfor isolation of endophytic microorganisms as per standard protocols. The marine endophytic fungi were isolated and purified by continuous streaking.The purifiedendophytes were morphologically identified andwere screened for multi-enzyme production system. During enzyme screening around 10 isolates were identified. Fungal strains7, 8 and 9 showed themaximum and proved to be multi-enzyme producer comprising amylase, protease, tyrosine and phosphatase and fungal strains 6 and 10 registered moderate production of enzymes. Thus, the endophytic fungal isolates 7,8,9 were subjected 18s DNA sequencing and identified to be Curvilariaplatzii,
