“…Mycobiota of Ras cheese was extensively studied with special reference to mycotoxins production. Moubasher et al (2018b) isolated Aspergillus sp. from Ras cheese, the most common species isolated from surface and core of examined Ras cheese samples were; A. flavus (Zommara and Rashed 2004;ELbagory et al 2014;El-fadaly et al 2015a, b;El-Badry and Raslan 2016;Seddek et al 2016;Elramly et al 2019;Ahmed et al 2020), A. niger (ELbagory et al 2014El-fadaly et al 2015a, b;El-Badry and Raslan 2016;Seddek et al 2016;Younis et al 2016;Elramly et al 2019;Ahmed et al 2020) andA.…”

Since Pier Antonio Micheli described and published genus Aspergillus in Nova Plantarum Genera in 1729 the genus attracted an immense interest. The published Egyptian literature on the genus is scattered and fragmentary. By screening the available sources of information since 1921, it was possible to figure out a range of 150 taxa that could be representing genus Aspergillus in Egypt up to the present time. Ten species of Aspergillus were introduced as type materials from Egypt since 1964 till now. Recorded taxa were assigned to 5 subgenera and 25 sections. This article includes Aspergillus species that are known to Egypt, provides a comprehensive checklist of species isolated from Egypt and provisional key to the identification of reported taxa is given. Although the present study will add some new data to our information concerning the Ascomycota of Egypt, this work must be considered as a provisional one always waiting for continuous supplementation.

“…Thirteen different genera were found in the guts of C. Servilia by the culture-dependent method, which was highly similar to the gut-associated fungi of Pantala flavescens larvae (Shao et al, 2015). Moreover, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium have been associated with other insects' guts, such as termites, honeybees, beetles, and palm weevils (Moubasher et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2020). Trichoderma, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Talaromyces were also found in the guts of aquatic insect larvae, which have cellulolytic potential (Belmont-Montefusco et al, 2020).…”

“…Some filamentous fungi were also frequently isolated, including Trichoderma, Pyrenochaeta, Fusarium, Acremonium, Chaetomium, and Penicillium (Xu et al, 2020;Nagam et al, 2021). Those insect gut-associated fungi were the resource of new species and novel bioactive products, and have attracted the wide attention of scholars (Zhang et al, 2008;Moubasher et al, 2017). For instance, two novel yeast species isolated from the guts of termites play a symbiotic role in the host concerning xylan degradation and production of vitamins (Handel et al, 2016).…”

Diversity, antibacterial activity and chemical analyses of gut-associated fungi isolated from the Crocothemis servilia

Insect-associated fungi are a potentially rich source of novel natural products with antibacterial activity. Here, we investigated the community composition and phylogenetic diversity of gut-associated fungi of the dragonfly (Crocothemis Servilia) using a combination of culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. A total of 42 fungal isolates were obtained from the guts of the dragonfly, which belonged to four classes and thirteen different genera. Amplicon sequencing analyses revealed that the fungal communities were more diverse, and a total of 136 genera were identified and dominated by the genera Wojnowiciella and Phoma. The antibacterial bioassay showed that five fungal crude extracts of representative isolates have shown antibacterial activities. Among them, the extract of Phoma sp. QTH17 showed the best antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Micrococcus tetragenus, and Staphylococcus aureus with the disc diameter of inhibition zone diameter (IZD) of 6.50, 10.80, and 8.70 mm, respectively. Chemical analysis of Phoma sp. QTH17 led to the discovery of five known compounds, including ergosterol (1), 3-Chlorogentisyl alcohol (2), epoxydon (3), epoxydon 6-methylsalicylate ester (4) and mannitol (5). Among them, the compound 3 exhibited potent antibacterial activities against E. coli, M. tetragenus, and S. aureus with the IZD of 7.00, 14.00, and 12.50 mm, respectively, which were slightly weaker than those of the positive gentamicin sulfate with the IZD of 11.13, 18.30, and 12.13 mm, respectively. In conclusion, our results confirmed that the diversity of gut-associated fungi of C. Servilia could be expected to explore the resource of new species and antibacterial substances.

“…The two genera were counted 47.12% and 23.54% of gross fungal count (totally, 70.67% of 652.4 colonies/ mg dry soil in every samples). Members of genera, Aspergillus and Penicillium are cosmopolitan and prevalent components of different ecosystems in a wide range of environmental and climatic zones [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62].…”

“…P. asperum and P. purpurogenum (each, 12% of the samples) and collectively, 17.64% of total penicillia. On the other side, and based on the previous studies of cultivated soils, P. notatum (or P. chrysogenum) and P. corylophilum, belonging to Asymmetrica-Velotina, were the dominant [62][63][64][65].…”

Plants are usually exposed to different abiotic (climate changes, salinity… etc.) and biotic (pathogenic and/or toxicogenic micro-organisms, pests… etc.) stresses which limit the growth and productivity as well as cause considerable loss of worldwide agricultural production. We investigated the soil texture and moisture content and analyzed the chemistry of the cultivated soils in Upper Egypt. Examined soil has mean values of 1.4 % organic matter, 0.04 % total dissolved salts, and 7.17 pH. The moisture content of the samples was moderate (mean=15.75). All of the cultivated soil samples (100% of the samples) proved to be contaminated by filamentous fungi. A total of 148 fungal species + 7 varieties of 40 genera were isolated and identified using the dilution plate method. The gross fungal count was 653.7 colonies/mg of dry soil. Aspergillus was the most dominant genus based on frequency (97.5% of the samples) and count (45.77% of the total fungal counts). Penicillium had a second place (82.5% of the sample and 23.49% of gross count). Fusarium occupied the third place (67.5% and 6.55%). Acremonium was one of the dominant genera (4 th place). It occurred in 45% of the samples examined and 5.95% of gross fungal counts. Curvularia and Humicola were moderate in frequency (30% and 25% of the samples) with low counts (1.53% and 4.04% of the fungal counts), and other genera were low and rare in frequency. Whereas sterile mycelium was high species in frequency (55% of the samples) but low in count (1.9% of fungal counts). Finally, the cultivated soils in this region, in general, are fertile but not completely healthy.
