The marine endophytic fungus Coniothyrium cereale produces the structurally unusual polyketide-type alkaloids (-)-cereolactam (1) and (-)-cereoaldomine (3), incorporating a lactam and an imine functionality, respectively, as well as the related metabolite (-)-trypethelone (2). Compounds 1 and 3 showed selective inhibition of human leukocyte elastase with IC50 values of 9.28 and 3.01 μM, respect...

Endophytes possess several phytohormones and bioactive metabolites of medicinal importance thus, continue to generate research interest as candidates in drug discovery programmes. This study was carried out investigate the secondary an endophytic fungus isolated from leaves Psidium guajava. Endophytic fungal isolation, fermentation; extraction ethyl acetate were using standard methods. The crud...

Pathogenicity of strains of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana and endophytic strains of Beauveria sp against the bovine tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus was tested in laboratory bioassays and under field conditions. Suspensions containing 10(5), 10(7) and 10(9) conidia/mL were prepared of each fungal strain for laboratory bioassays. The ticks were maintained at 28 degrees C...

Piriformospora indica is an endophytic fungus of Sebacinaceae which colonizes the roots of many plant species and confers benefits to the hosts. We demonstrate that approximately 75% of the genes, which respond to P. indica in Arabidopsis roots, differ among seedlings grown on normal phosphate (Pi) or Pi limitation conditions, and among wild-type and the wrky6 mutant impaired in the regulation ...

In this study, we report some endophytic fungi isolated from twigs of Quercus brantii in Dena region of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. The twigs were sampled from trees which had basidiocarps of the invasive basidiomycetous polypore fungus Inonotus krawtzewii on their trunk. Altogether, ca. 40 pure isolates were obtained. The ITS sequences were obtained for 16 isolates, and their phylogen...
