“…(2005) found distinct communities among five plant species, with a complementary level of 68% for the 10 most frequently isolated fungi. Monkai et al (2013) reported very low levels of similarity between the communities of Magnolia liliifera and Cinnamomum iners , reaching values of 1.92% to 8.51%, considering species and genus, respectively. Pasqualetti et al (2014)investigated the fungi of 17 species of trees in Mediterranean areas and observed communities with variable percentages of overlapping species (6-47%).…”

We investigated the composition and structure of fungal communities associated with leaf litter generated by Clusia nemorosa and Vismia guianensis that belong to phylogenetically-related botanical families and exist together in a remnant of the Atlantic Forest in Bahia, Brazil. Samplings were conducted during wet (June 2011) and dry (January 2013) seasons in Serra da Jibóia. The fungi were isolated using particle filtration and the 1,832 isolates represented 92 taxa. The wet season yielded the largest number of isolates (1,141) and taxa (76) compared with the dry season (641 isolates and 37 taxa). The richness and diversity of fungal species associated with C. nemorosa (64 taxa, Simpson=0.95)were higher compared with those of V.guianensis (59 taxa, Simpson =0.90). Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) revealed significant variations in the composition and community structure of fungi isolated from the two plants as a function of seasons. In contrast, nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis show that the seasonality was an important influence on the distribution of fungal species. However, the populations of the saprobic fungal communities were dynamic, and several factors may influence such communities in the Atlantic Forest.

“…The study of saprobic fungi on dead leaves of M. liliifera found that Ophioceras cf. leptosporum MFLU 10-0281 and Fusicoccum aesculi MFLU10-0260, MFLU10-0266 were observed on young and mostly decaying leaves (Monkai et al 2013). The results showed that these fungal isolates are strong decomposers because they grow on the leaves over the decay process.…”

“…During the study of diversity of saprobic fungi from Magnolia liliifera and Cinnamomum iners leaves in northern Thailand, we describe many strains of saprobic fungi (Monkai et al 2013). These fungal isolates were selected based on the criteria that (1) they belonged to the genera known to produce the active compounds with biological activities; and (2) they were possibly new species.…”

Antimicrobial activity of some saprobic fungi isolated fromMagnolia liliiferaandCinnamomum inersleaves

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Six saprobic fungal isolates were assayed for the in vitro antimicrobial activity against nine pathogenic microorganisms. The results showed that four fungal isolates including Clonostachys rosea MFLU10-0261, Fusicoccum aesculi MFLU10-0260, MFLU10-0266, and Ophioceras cf. leptosporum MFLU10-0281 were effective inhibitors against some test microorganisms. Of these, Ophioceras cf. leptosporum MFLU 10-0281 and Fusicoccum aesculi MFLU10-0260 exhibited a maximum inhibition zone of 15 ± 1 mm and 11 ± 1.6 mm against Staphylococcus aureus TISTR 1466 and Candida albicans TISTR 5779, respectively. These fungi also act as strong decomposers on leaves of Magnolia liliifera during the decay process from previous study. The results suggest that saprobic fungi could be a promising resource of useful bioactive compounds.

“…Several novel fungi have been reported from the tropics suggesting that there are still fungi in tropical forests awaiting discovery and analysis (Hawksworth 2002). In Thailand, there have been several studies of microfungi on plants that have discovered many new fungi (Doilom et al 2017;Kodsueb et al 2007aKodsueb et al , 2007bKodsueb et al , 2006Monkai et al 2013;Pinnoi et al 2007Pinnoi et al , 2006Seephueak et al 2011Seephueak et al , 2010Tibpromma et al 2016).…”

The diversity of saprobic fungi found on woody litter of Magnolia garrettii collected from Phu Hin Rongkla National Park in Phitsanulok Province, Thailand during the wet and dry seasons, from July 2008 to April 2009, was studied, and the fungal diversity and community was compared with a previous study in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park in Chiang Mai Province. Based on morphological characteristics, 141 taxa were obtained and classified as 40 Ascomycetes, 5 Basidiomycetes, 42 lichens, one unidentified taxon and 53 anamorphic fungi. The number of taxa recovered indicated that Dry season samples supported a more diverse fungal community than samples collected in the wet season, for both collecting sites, although the common genera of fungi obtained during each season were similar. Distinct fungal communities of saprobic fungi collected from each site suggest that site characteristics affect the community composition. Samples from Phu Hin Rongkla National Park provided higher numbers of fungi (especially lichens) than were collected in the previous Doi Suthep-Pui National Park study with few species overlapping in the two sites.
