Endophytic filamentous fungi from a Catharanthus roseus: Identification and its hydrolytic enzymes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reported on the various filamentous fungi strains that were isolated from a wild grown Catharanthus roseus. Based on the morphological characteristics and molecular technique through a Polymerase Chain Reaction and DNA sequencing method using internal transcribed spacer (ITS), these fungi had been identified as a Colletotrichum sp., Macrophomina phaseolina, Nigrospora sphaerica and Fusarium solani. The ultrastructures of spores and hyphae were observed under a Scanning Electron Microscope. The hydrolytic enzyme test showed that all strains were positive in secreting cellulase. Colletotrichum sp. and F. solani strains also gave a positive result for amylase while only F. solani was capable to secrete protease. These fungi were putatively classified as endophytic fungi since they produced extracellular enzymes that allow them to penetrate plant cell walls and colonize with symbiotic properties.

Cultural, Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Vinca Alkaloids Producing Endophytic Fungus Fusarium Solani Isolated from Catharanthus Roseus
We have isolated fifty-two endophytic fungi (AA-CRL-1 to AA-CRL52) from the leaves of Catharanthus roseus plants collected from different parts of Pune (Maharashtra, India). These endophytic fungi represented different genera and were screened for vinca alkaloids production using TLC and ESI-MS analysis. Out of the 52 endophytic fungal cultures screened, the endophytic culture AA-CRL-20 was fou...

Endophytic fungi reside in a symbiotic fashion inside their host plants, mimic their chemistry and interestingly, produce the same natural products as their hosts and are thus being screened for the production of valuable compounds like taxol, camptothecin, podophyllotoxin, etc. Vinblastine and vincristine are excellent anti-cancer drugs but their current production using plants is non-abundant...

Endophytic fungi isolated from Catharanthus roseus were screened for the production of vincristine and vinblastine. Twenty-two endophytic fungi isolated from various tissues of C. roseus were characterized taxonomically by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA and grouped into 10 genera: Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Colletotrichum, Dothideomycetes, Eu...
