Bioactive Attributes of Xylaria Species from the Scrub Jungles of Southwest India

Eremoxylarins D–J, Antibacterial Eremophilane Sesquiterpenes Discovered from an Endolichenic Strain of Xylaria hypoxylon

“…During the isolation process, one species, Xylaria hypoxylon , exhibited interesting antagonistic interactions with other fungi such as Dendrothyrium variisporum . X. hypoxylon is known to occupy different ecological niches with a wide host range and a widespread global occurrence. − It encounters a vast diversity of competitors, likely inducing the expression of a broad set of genes to successfully defend its habitat and communicate with such a large diversity of organisms . Indeed, previous studies on X. hypoxylon , revealed that this fungus was able to produce antimicrobial compounds against Gram-positive bacteria.…”
