“…Neocamarosporium was the most frequently isolated genus, mostly from halophytes including the important plant endemisms Salsola papillosa or Sal s ola genistoides . To date, various species of this genus have been described from saline soil or halophytic plants 24 , 39 , 40 . Their presence in hypersaline environments and the ability of our isolates to grow in a medium containing more than 3% of NaCl suggest that this genus is naturally halotolerant coinciding with a recent study 39 (see Supplementary Information Fig.…”

Native plant communities from arid areas present distinctive characteristics to survive in extreme conditions. The large number of poorly studied endemic plants represents a unique potential source for the discovery of novel fungal symbionts as well as host-specific endophytes not yet described. The addition of adsorptive polymeric resins in fungal fermentations has been seen to promote the production of new secondary metabolites and is a tool used consistently to generate new compounds with potential biological activities. A total of 349 fungal strains isolated from 63 selected plant species from arid ecosystems located in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, were characterized morphologically as well as based on their ITS/28S ribosomal gene sequences. The fungal community isolated was distributed among 19 orders including Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes, being Pleosporales the most abundant order. In total, 107 different genera were identified being Neocamarosporium the genus most frequently isolated from these plants, followed by Preussia and Alternaria. Strains were grown in four different media in presence and absence of selected resins to promote chemical diversity generation of new secondary metabolites. Fermentation extracts were evaluated, looking for new antifungal activities against plant and human fungal pathogens, as well as, cytotoxic activities against the human liver cancer cell line HepG2. From the 349 isolates tested, 126 (36%) exhibited significant bioactivities including 58 strains with exclusive antifungal properties and 33 strains with exclusive activity against the HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. After LCMS analysis, 68 known bioactive secondary metabolites could be identified as produced by 96 strains, and 12 likely unknown compounds were found in a subset of 14 fungal endophytes. The chemical profiles of the differential expression of induced activities were compared. As proof of concept, ten active secondary metabolites only produced in the presence of resins were purified and identified. The structures of three of these compounds were new and herein are elucidated.

“…The majority of the Neocamarosporium species described so far were found in association with Atriplex hastata, A. prostrata, Beta vulgaris, Halimione portulacoides, Salicornia spp., and Salsola sp. ; halotolerance seems to be a typical characteristic of this fungal genus [129,130]. The importance of the problem addressed is confirmed by recent observations of the presence of mycotoxigenic fungi and their mycotoxins in some halophytic plants [131,132].…”

Biological and Agronomic Traits of the Main Halophytes Widespread in the Mediterranean Region as Potential New Vegetable Crops

Salinity is one of the oldest and most serious environmental problems in the world. The increasingly widespread salinization of soils and water resources represents a growing threat to agriculture around the world. A strategy to cope with this problem is to cultivate salt-tolerant crops and, therefore, it is necessary to identify plant species that are naturally adapted to high-salinity conditions. In this review, we focus our attention on some plant species that can be considered among the most representative halophytes of the Mediterranean region; they can be potential resources, such as new or relatively new vegetable crops, to produce raw or minimally processed (or ready-to-eat) products, considering their nutritional properties and nutraceuticals. The main biological and agronomic characteristics of these species and the potential health risks due to mycotoxigenic fungi have been analyzed and summarized in a dedicated section. The objective of this review is to illustrate the main biological and agronomical characteristics of the most common halophytic species in the Mediterranean area, which could expand the range of leafy vegetables on the market.

“…Nonetheless, it is questionable whether listing these species as marine species is accurate because some collection sites are surrounded by land. Neocamarosporium persepolisi was described by Papizadeh et al [84]. Neocamarosporium persepolisi was reported in the Maharlou saline lake in southern Iran, which is not connected to the ocean.…”

“…Jones et al [13] reported species from saline lakes in their list of marine species. A few species have been described from saline lakes which also have extreme environmental conditions similar to oceanic water, viz, Aspergillus iranicus, A. urmiensis [81], Emericellopsis persica [82], Neocamarosporium chichastianum [83], N. jorjanensis, N. persepolisi, N. sollicola, and Purpureocillium sodanum [82,84]. Nonetheless, it is questionable whether listing these species as marine species is accurate because some collection sites are surrounded by land.…”

Marine fungi are an ecological rather than a taxonomic group that has been widely researched. Significant progress has been made in documenting their phylogeny, biodiversity, ultrastructure, ecology, physiology, and capacity for degradation of lignocellulosic compounds. This review (concept paper) summarizes the current knowledge of marine fungal diversity and provides an integrated and comprehensive view of their ecological roles in the world’s oceans. Novel terms for ‘semi marine fungi’ and ‘marine fungi’ are proposed based on the existence of fungi in various oceanic environments. The major maritime currents and upwelling that affect species diversity are discussed. This paper also forecasts under-explored regions with a greater diversity of marine taxa based on oceanic currents. The prospects for marine and semi-marine mycology are highlighted, notably, technological developments in culture-independent sequencing approaches for strengthening our present understanding of marine fungi’s ecological roles.
