Endophytic fungi from plants living on gypsum soils as a source of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity

Screening of Brazilian basidiomycetes for antimicrobial activity

“…This is not uncommon, as infra-specific genetic differences have already been observed (Suay et al 2000). Indeed, distinct secondary metabolites can be produced by cospecific isolates in other fungi, as already reported in the literature (Möller et al 1996, Peláez et al 1998, Okino et al 2001. Thus, if secondary metabolic diversity is of interest, it is important to keep different samples/isolates of the same species of basidiomycetes in the collections.…”

Four or More Species of Cladosporium Sympatrically Colonize Phragmites australis

“…), and C (C. herbarum). C. oxysporum and C. herbarum are considered cosmopolitan (David, 1997) and were recovered from many different plant hosts, sometimes after surface sterilization procedures as we did (Petrini et al, 1992;Pelaez et al, 1998). On the other hand, the fourth type, i.e., Cladosporium sp.…”

Steroidal and Triterpenoidal Fungal Metabolites as Ligands of Liver X Receptors

“…For the production of the compound, seed flasks of KF seed medium were prepared from a fresh slant culture on potato dextrose agar (Difco), as described [24]. Two milliliter aliquots of the seed cultures were used to inoculate 250 ml unbaffled Erlenmeyer flasks containing 50 ml of FFL production medium.…”
