“…Penicillium fungi are ubiquitous in soil (Egbuta et al, 2016) and are considered a key group in P cycling (Harvey et al, 2009;Richardson et al, 2011). In part this is due to their ability to solubilize inorganic P through the release of organic anions (Richardson et al, 2011), although with considerable differences between species (Wakelin et al, 2004).…”

“…This is due to its ability to survive in conditions of low humidity, extreme temperatures, and low pH since the growth of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms is influenced by soil acidity (Fatmala et al, 2015). Besides, the fungus A. terreus tends to also increase the growth of Ceriops tagal seedlings (Egbuta et al, 2016). Furthermore, Mehmood et al (2018) and Radhakrishnan et al (2015) reported that fungi in the genus Fusarium have great potential to dissolve phosphate and produce IAA.…”

Low phosphate content in the soil can cause insufficient plant needs. Besides, the endophytic fungi of nutgrass have the potential as a phosphate solvent and can produce IAA (Indole-3-Acetic Acid). This study aimed to determine the levels of solubilizing phosphate and production of IAA (Indole-3-Acetic Acid) by the endophytic fungi of nutgrass and to identify the isolates based on rDNA-ITS sequences. The methods used were the isolation of endophytic fungi, analysis of solubilizing levels of phosphate and IAA production, and molecular analysis with rDNA-ITS sequences. Results of isolation and purification, found five isolates coded URT1, URT2, URT3, URT4, and URT5. The endophytic fungi of nutgrass were able to solubilizing phosphate levels around 54.03 - 87.83 ppm, with the highest levels produced by URT4 isolate. IAA levels around 5.58 - 45.50 ppm, with the highest levels produced by URT1 isolate. Based on molecular analysis with rDNA-ITS sequences, it showed that URT4 had 97.42% similarity to Aspergillus tereus species, while UTR1 had 100% similarity to Fusarium oxyporum species. To conclude, the endophytic fungi of nutgrass from A. tereus and F. oxyporum species have high levels of solubilizing phosphate and IAA production so that they are potential candidates for biofertilizer.

“…Genus Emericella (E.) includes more than thirty species and is named after the sexual phase (teleomorph) of this fungal strain, which ranges from saprobes to pathogenic or endophytic organisms on living host organism [23]. It forms white cleistothecia surrounded by Hülle cells and produces purple ascospores.…”

Nidulantes of Aspergillus (Formerly Emericella): A Treasure Trove of Chemical Diversity and Biological Activities

The genus Emericella (Ascomycota) includes more than thirty species with worldwide distribution across many ecosystems. It is considered a rich source of diverse metabolites. The published classes of natural compounds that are discussed here are organized according to the following biosynthetic pathways: polyketides (azaphilones, cyclopentenone pigments, dicyanides, furan derivatives, phenolic ethers, and xanthones and anthraquinones); shikimate derivatives (bicoumarins); mevalonate derivatives (meroterpenes, sesquiterpenes, sesterterpenes and steroids) and amino acids derivatives (alkaloids (indole-derivatives, isoindolones, and piperazine) and peptides (depsipeptides)). These metabolites produce the wide array of biological effects associated with Emericella, including antioxidant, antiproliferative, antimalarial, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and kinase inhibitors. Careful and extensive study of the diversity and distribution of metabolites produced by the genus Emericella (either marine or terrestrial) revealed that, no matter the source of the fungus, the composition of the culture medium effectively controls the metabolites produced. The topic of this review is the diversity of metabolites that have been identified from Emericella, along with the contextual information on either their biological or geographic sources. This review presents 236 natural compounds, which were reported from marine and terrestrial Emericella. Amongst the reported compounds, only 70.2% were biologically assayed for their effects, including antimicrobial or cytotoxicity. This implies the need for substantial investigation of alternative activities. This review includes a full discussion of compound structures and disease management, based on materials published from 1982 through December 2019.
