In recent years, a considerable number of structurally unique metabolites with biological and pharmacological activities have been isolated from the marine-derived fungi, such as polyketides, alkaloids, peptides, lactones, terpenoids and steroids. Some of these compounds have anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibiotic and cytotoxic properties. T...

Article history: Received on: 08/11/2016 Accepted on: 07/01/2017 Available online: 30/05/2017 Research on the potential of ethyl acetate extracts from symbiotic fungi of marine sponge Neopetrosia chaliniformis AR-01 as producer of cytotoxic and antibacterial compounds has been conducted. Symbiotic fungi of N. chaliniformis were isolated by casting method using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and ...

Background and Purpose: Keratinophilic fungi are among the important groups of fungi living in the soil. This study aimed to isolate and identify keratinophilic fungi from the soil of three Iranian islands, namely Greater Tunb, Abu Musa, and Sirri, located in the Persian Gulf using morphological and molecular (polymerase chain reaction) methods. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total ...

This work reviews the production of terpenoids by endophytic fungi and their biological activities, in period of 2006 to 2010. Sixty five sesquiterpenes, 45 diterpenes, five meroterpenes and 12 other terpenes, amounting to 127 terpenoids were isolated from endophytic fungi.

Fungal endophytes are microfungi that live in plants without causing apparent symptoms of infection. This study was conducted to identify endophytic fungi isolated from leaves of coniferous trees in Bohyeon Mountain of Korea. We collected leaves of two species of coniferous trees, Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis, from 11 sites in the study area. A total 58 isolates were obtained and ident...

The aim was to investigate the effects of volatile fraction of essential oils from Picea abies, Eucalyptus globulus, Rosmarinus officinalis and volatile fraction of Abies sibirica oil on fungi isolated from apple, leek, carrot, onion. Researches were made in 2008–2009. Tested fungi were as follows: Penicillium roqueforti, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus flavus var. oryzae, Mortierella hyalina v...

fungal conidia and spores are among various organisms found in the air, causing different types of mycoses. in this study (from february 1994 until march 1995) fungal spores and conidia were collected by their settlement on to petri - dishes from 33 locations in babol city during 4 seasons. plates of sabouraud dextrose agar were laid 1.5 m. from the ground and then sent to mycology laboratory w...
